Last build post 1.

Well on the first day we got the first base done and got half of the gearing on. We also finished the arm and it's base but at the time it wasn't attached. 

Day-2:  I was absent on this day due to a dentist appointment, but it appears that the first robot was finished. The arm doesn't really seem to work right and if it does, it is impossible to control right. And it seems that my group or at least two of themstarted the second robot. Well I had thought we were only doing one and after the first one worked perfectly and even then only maybe would we start the second robot. Looks like the time I was gone they jumped at the chance to completely screw with what I thought we agreed with but I wasn't here so I don't really get a say in things. Whatever. Our robot will not be able to get the 10 point bonus while Josh and Dillon seem ever so optimistic it may be able to. Well guess we need to make sure that we can actually pick up balls and put the over the wall and score the mini soccer balls in the top goal or something. Guess the best we can do now depends on how hard we work to improve and make better this robot. 

Day 3: Well today we got a bit done I guess. The two robots well I'm still kind of against it but it is what it is. We accomplished a bit today I guess. We got farther on the second robot and apparently they are going to be the same exact thing as each other. So while Josh was working on the second one. Dillon and I were working on getting the first ones arm to work and we define tilt ran into problems. It seems that the motor isn't strong enough. We had it geared and are switching it tomorrow. We may have to go direct or gear it better but what happens happens.  Anyways besides the problems with the arm we have found problems in the wiring. The wiring does change from regular since we have jumpers in and are using two robots. There is definitely problems with getting one to work how we want it to while working on the boundaries set by the cortex. So in the end we are going to try and manually program it from the computer as long as shoe can find the software. We will be the first of our class to actually manually program. Hell we will be the first of the school to do so. This could either be very beneficial or a complete waste of time. Guess we will find out Monday.
