End of Week 5

What we accomplish:

• Found a design that can possibly beat our competition
• Programmed the brain
• Implemented our new design

This week we talked to some of the experienced engineers and received guidance and advice. We have discovered a new solution. Although we are limited by the amount of gear we can use, we hope that the compound gears will give us an advantage. We have to finish rearranging the gears next week.

Start of Week 5

Goals for this week:

• Finish the base 
•  Put in all of the gears
• Program the brain

This week we aim to finish the gears because we came up with a new design. We realized that if we build our robot to combat our toughest competitor, then we should be able to beat mostly everyone in the class. We are learning how to compound the gears. Hopefully, this will give us an advantage
