Day 25-Week 13

We began our research today on the tetrahedral challenge. Googling various arm techniques our group has managed to select our design. Consisting of an arm-like structure to lift the tetrahedrons and a simple wheel, our design is ensured for success. My name is Suraj and I approve this message.

Day 22-Week 11

Today was the big day of autonomous testing. After working countless hours on our robot we were able to score 90/100 on our autonomous test. For each straight line or turn we received a certain amount of points. Opi's Comet is very proud of their autonomous robot.

Day 21-Week 11

Being the last week to work on autonomous we scrambled to ensure our Robot worked correctly. While not having a cortex key we were forced to use an orange wire, which connected to the robot and controller. This forced us to walk our robot like a dog. Although inconvenient it got the job done.

Day 20-Week 10

After a strenuous week of attempting to correct our coding. We received a marvelous tip from Mr. Martin about battery power, which heavily influences the robot's course. We are now currently using all factors associated with the robot in order for it to work autonomously.

Day 19-Week 10

We began Monday morning with a great start. Completing two laps, the autonomous robot seemed almost complete, until we attempted to code the third lap. Our journey was about to take a turn for the worst.

Day 18-Week 9

After fixing up our robot problems we began to begin the actual coding process. We learned on how time speed, and voltage power affects the robot's performance and are currently on the first lap of the robot.

Day 17- Week 9

We kicked off the week with beginning to learn on how to code the robot in a way we haven't done before. We were supposed code the robot to go around two chairs automatically. However, our group wasn't unable to begin the actual process because of some maintenance problems with the actual robot.
