Well...

Goal for this week:

• FINISH THE YOU-KNOW-WHAT.
• It will remain nameless, because I am frustrated.

Extra thoughts:

UGH. Ugh. UUUUUGH. We need to finish this! What will become of us if we don't?! And we have been doing our best the entire time but can't complete it! What is wrong with us?? Ugh. UGHHHH. I am understandably annoyed and terrified, as you can see.

About where we are, currently.

WHOOP WHOOP

Please ignore the title, it is irrelevant.

Accomplished this week:

• progress on the solidworks robot

I am still very, very worried because at the time of writing this post, we have not finished. I am also frustrated. We have been working so hard, but are chugging along at a snail's pace! What in the world?! In what kind of logic-defying world have we been thrown?? Forgive me for the drama, it's Friday and I am weary of school already...

One of the pieces we will be using in the final assembly

Semana Nova

Our biggest goal for the moment:

• Finish Squarebot!

We're working towards this goal as fast as possible. Our skills with SolidWorks are limited, and I think our lagging behind isn't due to lazing off, but that we haven't built up speed in using SolidWorks. It isn't easy to work when you're sick either, as is my case. This week we are once again tentatively hopeful...

Less Excitement, More Panic

My earlier estimate seems to have been....off, to say the least. I'm not sure we'll be able to finish in time. Frankly, I'm a little nervous, but also resigned. If we get an F, I'll be consoled by the fact that we worked hard the entire time and did our best. There is nothing much we can do at this point except keep working and hope for a miracle.

This Week for Sure

We are very close to finishing! Our only goal so far this week is to be finally (FINALLY) done with the Solidworks Squarebot. I can't tell you how glad I'll be when this part is over. This turned out to be more arsenic than cake, it seems. And of course, hardly anyone will get my reference. Siigh. That's what the life of a person without cable is like: constantly watching old movies and shows nobody cares about anymore.

The amount of parts we have is a little excessive...

Squarebot...

Once again the weeks come to an end. The assembly has proved to be harder than expected and finding some of the parts was even harder. We did find all of the parts needed in the assembly and finished a good 70% of the squarebot. We expect to have it completed 2/2/15.

Still Working on it...

The goal for this week is to finish building the infamous squarebot and attempt to not be the last team to do it. So far we're behind, but with a little time we can make exponential progress. So far this what we have.
