Hello

So today we got some great stuff done. We were able to cover both the bump and the cart for the robot. we also sent out a press release to WDIO for saturday and we'll see what they say. We also worked really hard on the camera.

Also please keep checking the board for things I would like you to do (like wanting all of the people who arent already fans to become fans). And feel free to comment on anything.

have fun

Today we tested 40 tooth gear in tough box nano. Then went back to the 50 tooth. we then installed spacers for kicker bracer. Successfully tested kicker with bump. Removed electronics board so electric department could start installing components.

Also remember to check the front chalk board for instructions for this blog. We still need all the members of the team to become followers or at least check the blog every day so that everyone can be updated on what is happening.

thanks,

Today on the robot we built our nano tough box for our kicker and bolted it to the robot frame. We attached the axle mount to the frame and installed wooden boards to support the electronics. We tightened the chain and installed mount for AUX motor. we also got our kicker kicking adn it worked really well.

We will also be starting an actual website. we're not really sure how exacly we aree going to do it but we will start to make it work very soon so lokk out for updates on the chalkboard.
