We began coding the robot for the new challenge of picking up the ball and putting it in a tube, but first we need to deal with the balancing problem because it keeps falling over.

Were half way finished with the new claw to do the racket ball challenge. Its just missing a motor and a gear.

Finishing the tetrahedron challenge in rather late time, we are now continuing to catch up with the other teams by rebuilding our claw for the next challenge. Given a ball we must make our robot optimized for a new challenge goal of instead of a hook but lifting or holding the ball to the goal instead of a tetrahedron.

We continue to work on the tetrahedron challenge on the autonomous setting. Our main problem currently is coding the claw of our robot repeatedly until success is made.

4/18/16

We are still trying to do the autonomous tetrahedron challenge. Due to the fact we have do not meet the 18 inch requirement we must start our claw all the way back.

4/15/16

We finally finished the tetrahedron challenge, but like always we have to turn our robot so it can do the challenge autonomously, and do modify our solid works model to fit our real version .

Today we are fixing our coding and optimizing it for our vex clawbot, fixing the inverted or "reversed" controls. Supports have also been added to our claw. And creating a tetrahedron out of straws, pencils, and other utilities. We need at least three tetrahedrons. And for this week we shall be attempting the next few challenges right after the tetrahedron challenge is completed.
