We continued to build the robot and I with Chris’s robot so I can see the problems it has and to see how I would like to control it. When I come back, I would need to work on the arm and coding it.

Connor is building the robot right now and I am working on the arm mechanism.

We had to figure out how to make the arm bend, program to make the motors move, and to add reinforcement brackets t/o our design.

For open lab we worked in getting the arm built and getting the motors connected to the wheels. All the problems that we were having with mounting the arm have been solved and we are in the final stages f the build.

Today, we finished connecting all the servos to the wheels, and we have the motherboard plugged in. We know just have to finish the arm/ claw thing. We also have to code it. So next time, we will finalized  the arm design and wire everything  up.

Today while we were rebuilding our robot we had to workout a few p;problems. We  had to figure out ho/w to mount the arm since the middle of our robot has an opening. We had to co/me up with a design for a bracket that were going to use, and the other problem that we were having that we also noticed with other groups was that there were not enough alen keys for all the groups.

Today, Connor and I continues to put Louie together. We ran into a few problems like wiring everything and there are too little allen keys to share between 3 different times. The next thing we have to do is to connect the servos to the motherboard and to add the arm. During the  next robot club, we will continue to fox the robot.

We ran into a few problems that we had to fix during open lab is having enough Allen keys to work with , and mounting the camera and the arm.

We started to build the robot and we ran into a building  problem was the brackets of some of the steel things. But I helped Christopher  with his camera thing because I was curious with how the camera will work and be mounted. We will continue building the robot and hope to finish it a week before the competition.

Today during open lab we were rebuilding our robot. One problem tat we ran into is knowing the amount of motors we should use in order not to go over the motor limit allowed. We also managed to get the live feed camera to work and we decided to mount it at the edge of the arm once we got close to to building the robot.

Building Louie

Today, Connor and I started to put our robot and we just need to finish everything. Step 1 is to finish the robot. Step 2 will be coding the robot and the last step is to test it and debugging. We also tested the cameras if they worked which it did. So the cameras, transmitter and receiver  all work with little to no lag. But the small one might black out real quick and do it once or twice.

Nathanielle-Disassemble Louie

Connor and I continued to disassemble the robot and are almost done with it. We also got some new ideas like adding rope to our robot and reusing part of the arm. The thing we will do next time is to finish disassembling the robot and start the body next time.

New launch Of New launch of Robot Club Project Pages

Hey SVCTE Mechatronics Robot Club teams, I'm launching a new process to capture your progress documenting your Robot Club projects. The goal is that we have a better and easier method to create a portfolio of engineering work you have done.  TBD, but I'll post a template and Rubric.

I'll also add your team mates as Blog Authors, you will see an invite... click accept.

I'll also post requests for specific data or content... so read the blog posts... it would be a good Idea to sign up for email notifications when a new blog post happens.
