So we got a new arm and geared the crud out of it, and aren't done yet. So all we need to do is basically finish the arm and motorize it, then get the scoop part. Maybe get it plastic, it depends.

Today we decide to start getting the arm attached and motorized. It didn't work very well because te arm was too heavy. Next class we are going to work on making the arm lighter

More building arm things
We ditched the scoop technique and went for an arm instead. Just need to secure it to the bot and we should be good. It was interesting trying to make the arm work, and to just build it.

Wednesday's arm building
(Yeah we are getting buff) but we finally got a prototype-ish arm done. Just for bucky balls though, as it seems. But it seems stable for now...
And there are some preliminary ideas in the pics as well

Today we programmed our robot to move forward and backward. We found a problem with the wheels but quickly changed the front ones out with smaller ones. Now we need to figure out how to make working arms that can pick up the balls and move them around.

Robo build and programming
All we did today was built the two sides if the robot. Then we got to programming and things. Played around with the robot too

Today we started construction on our robot. The only potential sources of error we see are that the wheels may be too big. We got the two halves of the chassis completed, Friday we plan to attach the two halves and begin to learn how to program the robot to move.
