Team Update: February 19, 2011 (Sat. of Crunch Weekend)

Hi everyone!

We solved one of our problems today by adding an additional motor to each gearbox on the robot, making it much more drivable.

-We practiced driving in Davidow

-Electrical Team: cleaned up wires, worked on mounting new motors, labeled the PD board

-Minibot Team: finished the minibot with a solid frame; it now climbs in under 4 seconds, but will be sped up; the deployment mechanism is almost complete

-Programming Team: changed code to use four motors, worked on fixing bugs, tested autonomous

-Shark tooth handouts were made, and the paint job on the robot was touched up

Thanks to Issa for breakfast and Sam for dinner. We will be meeting again tomorrow from 10 AM to 5 PM.

2 more days till we ship!
-Nick
