Moving Forward!

We have finally come to see the light of day. Mentioned in our last post the bot spun in circles and make a irritating sound of a repeated (WHEE) but times have changed our square bot has made some progress over the last couple of days. Our bot when turned on now moves forward instead of circles, We hope to have it fully programmed soon.

Back from spring break and ....

We came back from spring break with a happy heart to only remember how behind our robot is. All it does is spin in a circle which we have yet to find a proper solution to. Today we have been given another deadline on another challenge , but to the extent we have yet to finish the first deadline and actually program our to move other then a flippin circle....(WHEEE WHEE WHEE WHEE WHEE) the sound it forever makes as we turn it on.

Spring Break

Spring break is coming up in the next couple of days. We are still programming our square bot up till the last day before spring break. We are always having difficulties with the RobotC firmware and VEX Pic controller. We have been encountering many errors and hope to complete the programming before our little week of vacation. The errors include many different things, but most simple.

Programming Continued: The Sequel Post 3

Monday, Marks the third period of programming our square bot. We have set numerous deadlines but failed to meet them We have finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. We have realized our recent mistakes and have been trying to fix them. We are closing our goal but we still have not finished programming for autonomous (or how ever you spell that god awful word). Our goal this week is to somehow finish programming and finish autonomous (yea that word).

Programming Continued....

Today we are still working on the programming portion of our square bot. We have had difficulties such as it seems always. We have had a problem of getting the bot to move in any other direction besides a circle. Either we have mis-programmed our bot or the factory settings are not set to default. This is a difficult and lengthy process to find out whats wrong, we are doing everything we possibly can to find a solution. Hopefully by Monday everything will be figured out.

Programming

Today we have continued on the process of programming our square bot for the ability of movement and control. We are using RobotC to program our square bot. By downloading certain files containing code we will be able to move and gain full control to our bot. Through the week we plan on getting past this stage and begin more advanced maneuvers.

                                                                 

Square Bot Completed

Today we have officially built our square bot. We are on the programming part of our square bot now. First we sat at the wrong computer and then finally transitioned on over to the right device. Once we moved we tried to restart the programming process and have had a few difficulties. The system is showing errors which we are in the process of fixing. Hopefully by Monday we will have our bot programmed and finished.
