Our Bot Our Enemy

As we thought we were going to finish our square bot Friday we have ran into a few errors on our behalf. We need to continue to work on our square bot till we are completely done. We are currently adding what we hope are the last parts and will be on the way to attaching the canopy. Whats ahead is hopefully a finished bot so we can go and work on it in real life with physical matters and materials.

                                                                   

Could We Be Finished?

As previously mentioned in the past 3 to 4 posts we have been working on the assembly of our square bot. Each day we have completed a sufficient amount of work in solid works. Today we finally believe that we will finish the square bot and continue on ahead in the building process of our bot. After today we hope to move on to the next assignment or if we don't finish we will then complete the remaining.

Assembling The Parts: V3

Today we are attempting to finish the squarebot on SolidWorks. We have completed a wholesome of work since our last post and are now on the way to making the parts become a whole. We are hoping to finish the bot by the end of today or tomorrow, its been challenging but has been worth the time and effort. Coming the following days we wish to complete any task preceding this one about the square bot.

Assembling The Parts: V2

As an addition to "Assembling The Parts: V1" we are continuing to put parts together for our square bot. We have built around half of our receiver and have completed good some of the motor. We had met our goal as previously mentioned. Our focus now and for the days ahead will be to continue towards the completion of our square bot on solidworks.

Assembling The Parts: V1

As mentioned before we had began to download the necessary parts to build our square bot in solidworks. We had recently completed doing that on Friday and have now begun to assemble the parts into a whole. Starting today we introduced ourselves to the rails and brackets and have used them as our starting point in the assembly. Planning ahead we hope to have completed a good majority of the bot by at least Wednesday.

Downloading The Start

What we have been working on from these past couple days up till now is downloading and converting our Vex Robotics Files over into SolidWorks as working parts. Its been a rather challenging task for such a simple thing, We are having difficulty downloading the parts correctly and efficiently but in all we sure of what we have to do. Our goal is to have our square bot in assembly and on its way to completion. Hopefully sometime next week we will be past our problems and have the issues resolved.

Edit: We are currently on the right path and now moving towards making the Squarebot via SolidWorks.

PoE Coursework

This week we have been introduced to the Principles of Engineering Coursework. The coursework can be found on the SPHS Engineering website. This weeks plan is to make it through the Vex Online Resources and review over the files. We were also shown Robot-C and the resources it has available for us. The Vex Resources includes the inventors guide which we have mentioned about in past posts.
