Ready to rock and pull!

This week we have completely finished our robot. This means we have our mounts and even bricks for weight (which we gave our own decals).  We also used a broken brick as a tail fin for aerodynamics, since we're traveling at such high speeds. ; )

Finishing touches

This week we are just about ready to start scrimmaging opponent robots. All we have left to do is set a mount for our brain and battery and create a structure to attach the rope to.

Fine Tuning

This week we continue making our robot on solid works, also we are fine tuning our robot to better compete with our opponents in the class. We are planning on finishing sometime this week.

Solidworks cont.

This week we've made substantial progress with our solidworks robot. We have also added an upgrade to our compound gear system we hope adds more torque to it.

Solid Works

Today we started to build our robot in solid works, so far we are trying to remember how to unzip files, but after that we will be smooth sailing!!! Also we continue working on building our physical robot to hopefully win our tug of war challenge.

Finished chassis

This week we have finished building the chassis of our robot. This includes the redesigned compound gear system, and even programming the brain.

Redesign

This week we have started rebuilding our gear system. This new setup will require less shaft collars so we will meet our limits
