Weekly Goal

Our goal or the week is to try out the motors, figuring out how they work and what to do with them. Also i was thinking of starting the SolidWorks for our robot. Even if we add to the robot having the chassis would be helpful later on for the project.

Makin' Progress- End of Week

So, the chassis is pretty much done. Building the thing has proven to be quite the endeavor, with each member of the group being responsible for another part of the process. The easiest part is probably just getting the parts, and there's an abundance of them , so we never have to struggle with the other team. It's still a fairly enjoyable process, and hopefully we can get our robot up and running soon.

Assembly time

Today our whole team is here and we finally started to assemble our robot. We are going to making the square-bot robot so it shouldn't be too difficult. first things we first we need to gather all equipment such as screws, gears, wheels and many other parts. Hopefully we get a good base started today.

Time to Build- End of Week

So we completed our initial goal of disassembling the robot(yay) so we're on to the new task of building, It's fairly easy, as all we're doing is following instructions, but we've only just begun so it's probably going to get more difficult as we go along. There's 2/5ths of our team missing today, but we'll make due. It's been a pretty productive week actually.

Robot Time - Our Weekly Goal

Today, the team continued to work on disassembling the robot, piece by piece. So far we're having little to no difficulty with the task, with many of our team members preferring it to virtual worlds. Nick says he likes the "hands on" parts of this class best, while Jeremy wants more tools, but he's managing pretty well. Hopefully this week we'll make some serious progress on the robot, or finish disassembling it altogether.

End of the Week

We have accomplished our goal this week! We have got 30+ badges between our group members, Darien himself got 20 badges. Now we are ready to move onto the next phase of the robot building process.

~Jakes Badges~

Our Weekly Goal

Mr.Martin has spared us. Instead of everyone having to get 30 badges, now the group collectively has to get 30 badges. So in our group each person is trying a different challenge. Right now we have about 32 badges between the five of us. That's pretty low but everyone has been missing days, so everyone is at different stages of learning the program.

~got more badges~

~putting in that work~

End of the Week

We have mixed results with Virtual Worlds this week. With different group members out each day, we are each at different levels of understanding. Darien said he had earned 4 badges but cant find them so he is working on that. Nick, Malik, and I are still learning he ropes relying on Darien for assistance when we hit a wall.
