Team Update: January 13, 2011

Hi everyone!

Safety Contact: Keep wires above eye level. Make sure you are always wearing your safety glasses.

The claw team completed both of their prototypes. They have two different designs. One design can pick up tubes vertically and the other design can pick up tubes horizontally.

The sensor team configured the new gaming adaptor, finished installing all the current software, reclaimed a 5 GB partition of the Classmates hard drive, and did more testing with the sensors.

The telescoping team worked on their prototype, a drum and motor combination, and also gearboxes.

The drive train team put chains on the wheels and got all of the electrical components on the robot and on the drivers' station wired up. They are trying to figure out how to get the robot to move so they can test the drive train they have on right now. Their homework to do between now and Saturday is to research the 2007 control panel.

Thank you Mrs. Davenport for bringing dinner! Our next meeting is on Saturday from 9 until 2. As a reminder, the Georges are bringing breakfast and the Petersons are bringing lunch.

Hope everyone has a great day!
-Sam
