Week three- 2/20/19

By -


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.

  This week we have learned new information on why our robot may be acting up. The battery. We have learned that the battery's voltage level can affect how fast or slow the robot runs and the amount of power that it has to turn. With this knowledge we have created a "safe range" between 8.0-8.3. If our battery's voltage is higher or lower than this range, the robot will not do the specific angles and measurements that we have programmed. Because we've learned this, it has been easier and way less stressful to keep the robot consistent.

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.
