Week 6 -3/12

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.

                                    We still haven’t got this robot working. The robot is currently at a point where instead of working consistently, sometimes it will finish completely and other times it messes up at the most random spots. So our focus is to fix all issue so that it works perfectly every time. We are working very hard to finish it especially because next week will be our last week here before we go on to spring break.

week 1 2/5/19 Today our main goal was to start up our Blogger pages and complete a bio page for all of our team members(which are Ian Alejandro, Abrianna something and Roche something. After finishing our first post we continued to re-inventory and organize all of our tools and toolboxes and carts in the back of the room. By the end of the week our goal is to be completely done and start building our virtual robot in Solidworks, which would be the square bot, and hopefully by next class start building the frame and setting setting up for the rest of the quarter.
