After finishing the virtual build on Solidworks, today we started building our actual robot. We did a test bench where we updated the firmware of the cortex. We tested batteries, the motors and cortex and connected the controller to the dual motors. We learned how to use Robot IC which the software to control the cortex and we updated it.

Today we have downloaded the square-bot assembly file off of the engineering site. We have started gathering materials such as chassis rails and bumpers, screws, beams, nuts, wheels and motors. Today we went in order of the instructions and started on the frame of the robot. By the end of the week our goal is to be completely done with the frame, motor and wheel install and have are robot up and moving.

2/7/19 This is still the first week and the second day of working on the robots. Roche and I (Ian) have assigned are selves to be the people working on building the robot virtually on SolidWorks and we alternate when ever we get tired. From this day on Abrianna will be updating the blog and taking picture of what is currently happening. We have decode that we are going to be doing the square bot just because it is the easiest to find the parts for. We had to download it from the vex website and open them with Solidworks to  convert the STEP file into a Solidworks parts file to make the assembly. So far we converted most of the part and have gotten half of the frame done.
