End of the Week

This is the end of the week, and we finally found the vex starters kit for usage in Solidworks We can use this to experiment on how we should build our robot in the future. And now that we have these references such as the links shown in this blog.

Additionally, we also learned the basics for programming the robots using robot C.

The program we will be using to program the robot, RobotC

Excited!

We have one goal for this week:

• Receive resources and information from Mr. Martin to build the robot

I have to say, I'm looking forward to the end results of this project! Even though I'm a level 10 Bot Builder in The Sims, it never crossed my mind I'd end up a robot builder in real life. Part of me is bouncing off the walls with excitement, but the other? It's trembling in its boots. 

My teammates and I will be working hard this week, and I'm sure that they are excited too!

Vex's Inventor's Guide will be an invaluable source of information for us

New Knowledge!

We've now reached the end of the week. Now the entire team is familiar with the basics of Blogger and have an idea of what to expect once we begin our team project of creating a robot. We've developed a decent understanding on what a platform is and how our choice in platform will affect our project and even some insight on the parts that we'll use or might use such as a servo and rack gear. With this new knowledge, we've begun to think as to what we'd maybe prefer or like to use in our project.

A website the teacher directed us to that will be helpful to our project

In the Beginning, There was one Post...

This week, we will learn more about the making and management of blogs through "Blogger" and also gain insight on robotics. Additionally, we will also think about and research during after school hours about robotics and on what lies ahead for us.

Our goals include:

• Learning the basics of Blogger to accurately document the project
• Learn about the different robot parts available to us for usage

We are very excited (and maybe a little intimidated) to be finally starting this project. I can honestly say that each member of our team wants to do the best possible.
