Week 7 - Friday 4/27/18

This week we finished our Solidworks build, but sadly our dysfunctional robot doesn't run half the time, doesn't follow the program, and decides to turn off while at full charge. This has caused backwards progression ending our hopes and dreams of ever completing it...

It is finally done and now we can move on to the next SolidWorks challenge! Always better late than never!

Today, Big Brother Brand is hoping to finally actually finish  programming  its figure 8, and to begin on the Tetrahedron challenge and also building it on SolidWorks.

This week we finished the Square Bot on solidworks and worked on the figure-8 and got it to finish the first lap. Sadly we were cut short of our goal due to our controller battery dying. hopefully we finish next class.

Week 6 - Tuesday 4/17/18

So, last week Big Brother Brand had finished its SolidWorks build, but the computer crashed and all of the data was lost. Sadly, Big Brother Brand had to start over, and due to no access to SolidWorks at home, we were unable to get any work done. Hopefully, today we will be able to finish the SolidWorks Square Bot build, and be able to get a grade. This week is a short week, but we are still planning on getting the figure 8 and SolidWorks done, and hopefully finally moving on to something new.

Today, Big Brother Brand is slowing down the figure-eight programming in hopes to accomplish its SolidWorks build because it's due by the end of class. We are having some complications with our SolidWorks parts, so it will be a little hard, but the outcome is looking good! :)

Week 5 - Monday 4/9/18

Since we have a 3 day week this week, Big Brother Brand will have plenty of time to complete our work. We are hoping to be done with our SolidWorks build by Wednesday, and we want to complete the autonomous figure 8 challenge by the end of the week. We also need to 3D Print our battery pack!

Today Big Brother Brand continued its efforts on the SolidWorks build. Hunter will not take pictures of Rom doing things, so Rom was required to take a selfie to prove that he is actually present in class. Here is a picture of Hunter working on the SolidWorks assembly. ^

Today, Big Brother Brand will be working on its SolidWorks assembly. Due to complications with our personal computers at home, we were unable to complete the virtual build at home. We are hoping to accomplish this by the end of next class.
