Peace(RCX):
The arms had to be strengthened and the wheels changed to help out with the inconsistancy of the movements. We are also adding extra wheels to one end of the arm to counter the weight of the orange balls. So far, only strengthening pieces have been added. Design so far looks really good. Love(Handiboard): The handiboard (love) had lots of change this week. We started with a good base attached the motors with not glue . We then added the sonar, camera but forgot about the handiboard . We had trouble getting it on one of our motors( the one working the arm )refuse to work. Since our major designers was out the programmer started taking everything off, redoing it. Since we forget that they could not glue lego to lego. The next day we discovered we had a mess. The whole design had to be redone. We spent a whole day striing to get the glue off the parts. By the end of the week the basic design was complete. Our designer stayed late to try and get things back together. |

We still keep two robots: Peace (the RCX) Love (the Handy board).
We try to turn the lights , so motors can distinct color. RCX Peace: ARM is now connected and working. We had to make several adjustments to strengthen the whole Bot. The motors kept falling off when it bumped into the sides but we reen forced. Then now they work time. We had the same problem with the connection to the arm but we added more parts to make it work. It now works well and next week we will focus on make the motor directional to make them find the balls. Handiball(Love) Love has had several changes. We have programs for the light, sensors, motors, camera, We are struggling witht the motors work in the connect diectory. We are having to redesign the Robot to make the motors do what we need them to do. |

Peace (the RCX)
-Has 2 motors that work by tracks that will help with directing the robot. -Has 1 motor to work arm that collects & dumps the balls into the baskets -Has 2 bumpers to help with directional change -bumper arms run the length of the front& back of the robot so it will be touched from all angles Love (the Handy board) -Has 2 motors that move and controll the direction of the robot. -Has 1 motor to run arm that collects cups & stacks them together -Has a light sensor to recognise start -Has Sonar to know when cups are near & in arms -Has touch sensors to help with directional change |

We want to have two perfect robots
Grab balls: arms that move, can be able to locate balls in-out, up-down, be able to locate the corners to put balls in be able to stop after 89 s Infared 1 cup Arms that can grab and stack cups. locate cups Be able to start with lights and start Second robot: be able to stop after 90 s |

We want to have two arms for robots which can going in and out, up and down. We just want to use one or two serous.
There are two robots: + One robot with camera focused on capturing balls and putting in basket. + One robot with infrared focus on stacking cups. And we are still working on programing and try to solve trouble with robots. |
