Day 8-Week 4

We wrapped up the week with finishing up out entire robot! After finally making the canopy and attaching it with the main robot we ended it all by adding the nuts and bolts. Overall it was a productive week.

Day 7-Week 4

We changed our Blog name to Opi's Comet (named after our roller coaster last year). Continuing our robot project we managed to finish the chassis and began the construction of the canopy.

Day 6-Week 3

Today we figured out how to properly download all the parts successfully. We began assembling them in order. Mr. Martin refreshed our minds on how to use SolidWorks too. While doing all of this we simultaneously  updated our blogs. Our outcome of this week was assembling the right side panel with steps 1-3 completed.

Day 5-Week 3

Today we went over Vex Parts and learned how to download them. While some were trying to figure out how to download them our group began to start assembling it. It took us approximately twenty minutes of class to get the the parts downloaded and the rest of class to try to figure out assembling parts.

Day 4-Week 2

Mr. Martin went over new devices and gave us tips on robots. The types of items he went over were  the brain,crystal frequencies, and sensors. In addition, he showed us an example of a Lego using sensors through a video. The outcome of this week gave us better background knowledge of the robots

Day 3-Week 2

We are continuing to review and learn about the blogging and robotics program. We have caught up to date with blogging and took our group pictures. We are currently working on the aesthetics of our blog.

Day 2-Week 1

We started the process of learning the basics of robotics. Mr. Martin started telling us some of the pros and cons to some of the tools and parts of different designs of robots. The outcome of this week was a basic introduction to robotics.

Today was day one working on our blog. We were introduced to blogger and exposed to new goals that we will try to accomplish in the future.
