Today alone we are going to finish coding our robot to handle 4 motors.  RobotC has been giving us some trouble mainly because all of the sample programs are meant for no more than 3 motors; despite this, we plan on finishing the code today so we can get tested and graded as soon as possible.

This week we are running into a problem with our motor not reaching, which we quickly fixed, and then our motor was not strong enough so we had to make a few changes to Hot Bot. So far the arm is starting to perform well.

Finally got out code working, time to start testing it out with our team driver, Moshe Grosso. Also we helped another team get the autonomous off of their robot.

This week we have made substantial progress on constructing the "hot bot".  We have finished our endofactor and compound gear system.  This way the arm has enough torque to lift u the heavy "hand".

This week we hope to finish building our robot for the racquetball challenge.  We need to completely replace our arm with a new one with a stronger "elbow" joint and a new "hand" that can pick up and drop the racquetball.

This week we have been relocated into a portable.  Since we couldn't make much progress on the "hot bot", we have basically no updates to update.  We can however tell you that we did a current event while in the portables.

We have all agreed upon a modified scoop design for our challenge.  In order to support such a heavy endofactor, we are going to increase the power our arm joint has by changing the gears around.  We believe that the sacrifice in speed will be worth it with our endofactor design.  Also, this week we are being relocated into a portable for the super testing.
