We have learned that our next challenge involves a big pvc pipe and a rubber bouncy ball.  Our challenge is to place the ball into the pvc pipe and different pipes are woth different points.  Also, we are timed.

We finally went for an official run and ended up getting 100 by missing the chance to get 120 by a second! But we were the first group in the period to finish and are now ready for our next challenge!

We finally got the code in and hotbot is seen picking up its first tetrahedron for the win!!!!
The only dilemma we have encountered is a problem with torque and we might have to switch out one of our gears on our design.

Hot bot is coming together very nicely, we already have the arm in place and all we have left is to hook up the motor to the brain, and program it to the controller.

We are actively working and really progressing on our arm idea for hotbot. we've gone through a few ideas and alot of parts but its finally coming together.

here Drew is working hard on hotbot.. what a cutie.

We have a design in mind for our hotbot and as you can see in the photo, theres Nick working hard on how to make our idea a reality!

Today is the first day back from a much needed break. We only wish it could have been longer! We also found out what our next challenge is! it involves tetrahedrons, poles, and creativity!
