Beginning Programming

3/30/15

We have returned from what seemed to be an endless Spring Break. Now that Dylan and I are back at work, we have finished our square-bot and now will begin programming it in order to attain our second grade. We are gradually catching up little by little, we'll definitely be in sync by the end of the quarter. Mr.Martin has given the class their third challenge, but in order to participate we need to program first.

First Day of Build

3-18-15

Today we have officially began the Square-bot in class. So far we are working diligently and have gotten a lot done in the past hour. I predict that my group and I will be done with the build some time early next week. The only issues we have run into currently was the lack of materials and pieces needed in order to build the Square-bot but other then that we are working efficiently and quickly as a group, dividing the work evenly in order to finish earlier. We will most likely begin programming during the end of next week.

Further Organization

3/13/2015

My group and I are still in the process of organizing parts and tools in order to begin building our square-bot. Unfortunately, Mr. Martin explained to me that a certain member in our group has not been working diligently and walking around conversing with other students in the class when he should have been helping organize. Due to this, we are still assigned to organize the tools. Hopefully if we stay focused as a group and help one another we can begin building next week.

We have finally finished our square bot on solid works and now we are beginning to organize nuts and bolts in order to begin the construction of the actual square bot. We will keep organizing once we come back on monday, hopefully we will work efficiently and diligently in order to begin building as soon as possible.

Day one of organization

Squarebot finished

3-2-15

My group and I have finally finished the Square-bot creation on Solid-Works. We put all the large pre-assemblies together and for the most part have done every step correctly except for a few minor issues dealing with certain mates or positioning's of parts. After submitting the assembly to our instructor, Mr.Martin we will most likely begin organizing Vex or Tetrix parts in order to gain approval to begin building the actual Square-bot out of Vex parts.
