10/15 - Shabby Shooter

     Brandon and I dismantled the robot completely in study all. Today we started from scratch. We're also starting with the shooter, which seems easier now.

Until Friday,
Diego.

10/11 - A Confusing Conundrum

     We're confused, and lost. The robot's arm keeps getting stuck. When it doesn't, it lacks the strength to pick up a disc. We don't know where to go from here. All of us are sitting at 68's in the class with a week to go. We don't where to turn.

Until Monday,
Diego.

10/9 - Grasping a Grade

     We are so incredibly close to finishing the arm challenge. We only have to have a mechanism to pick up the discs and it's complete. I also started the shooting mechanism, and have a chance of being done by next class. That being said, hopefully we have everything ready by the end of the quarter.

Until Thursday,
Diego.

10/5 - The Chosen Challenge

     Today we're looking to finish the challenge. The bot is basically done, Hunter and Samuel are lowering the arm to keep it under 18 inches.
     Hopefully next blog will be about shooting.

Until Tuesday,
Diego.

10/1 - The Spooky Split

     The Spooky Split: Our team is now split three ways. It's also October. Brandon is working on the end of the arm, Hunter and Samuel are working on the raising mechanism, and I'm starting the shooting mechanism. Everything is incredibly slow. I'm also learning we're at a disadvantage for a couple reasons.
     We're a middle of the ground team. We know what we're doing, but we're not quick. Recently, the seniors are collaborating, which boosts themselves, and choking us out of parts. Specifically, the gear needed for the shooting mechanism.

Until Friday,
Diego.
