10/26 - Snappy Shooting


     We're incredibly close to finishing the shooting challenge. All we have to do is align to robot properly and get the distance down, and we're done. This challenge is now looking very vulnerable; we're closing in on completion.

Until Tuesday,
Diego.

10/22 - Doom and Gloom


     Although we got the doom and gloom speech about having to copy other robots, we started doing so last week. In only 3 classes of copying, we got farther than we did in several weeks of trying to pioneer a good idea. Thus, the Sergio tribute bot is dead. We are now building the Tyler/Gunther bot, which looks ugly but gets the job done.

Until Friday,
Diego.

     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.

12/14 - Mastering the Midterm
