Tedious Task

It's the end of our third week and we've luckily been able to keep up and continue progressing towards creating the square bot in Solidworks. Although proving to be a tedious task we've started to isolate the parts needed to begin it's creation in Solidworks. Hopefully we'll manage to have it ready by the very least next Tuesday.

Some of the Solidworks parts we will be using

Arsenic Cake?

The goals for this week are to:

  • Finish learning the necessary information for the robot
  • Begin work on the Solidsworks square-bot
It looks like next week we'll be able to start taking apart some robots. It might be a little tedious but the learning experience will be priceless. Building the square-bot in Solidsworks could end up being easy, though. I do believe that their is a step-by-step guide available somewhere. Will this week be a piece of cake? Or will it be laced with arsenic? Only time can tell.



A VEX robot similar to what we are building, to give an idea of what the completed one will look like.
