Today we started to design our bot. It is going well. We are getting lots of ideas from my team. I will update this post with link to some pictures. I think going at this rate we should start to build by Friday.

Programming Madness!
4-18-06 (Tuesday)
Today we are revising or design for the chassis, (engineering team) and our Programming team is hard at work writing commands for the motors and we are working on perfecting a way for the bot to pickup tribles and supplies.

Oh No!

Each time we study the robot, we discover more and more mistakes. As of yesterday we may have to redesign the entire chasis, with the unfortunate fact that we have less than one month to complete the robot, and we are nowhere close to finishing.
Our Master Plan...
5-3-06 (Wednesday)
We use a shovel to scope up the tribles. We are not going to bother trying to get them in the right home, we figure that 1/3 of them will get double points and the others will just get single but it is better than not getting any points for all of them. Our other bot is going to have a claw and TRY and get the supplies off the tower to score the big points. Bot Guy is not worth enough to make it worth trying for.

5-11-06(Friday)
We have finally finished the first bot and are programming it, while we make start on the 2nd bot. We are going great and will be strong going in to the competition! Watch out other teams Rahway is coming to get you!!!
Our 2nd bot will go around to the other side and get the supplies from the center.
