End of week 7*

What we accomplished:

  • Changed the gear ratio.
Although we changed the gear ratio for the robot, we are unfortunately still having issues. We know that there is no excuse for this, but the axles are giving us issues. They keep sliding out of the motor when they turn. Some of the gears are not turning and we still haven't made progress with solid works.

Start of week 7*


Goals for this week:

  • Finish the robot
  • Fix the gear ratio (again)
  • Program the brain
Next week is the tug-a-war competition so we have to step up our game. Although working with this robot is stressful, we know what we have to complete. When we tested out the robot last week, it was built for a speed robot, not a torque robot. Our compound build was wrong, so we have to fix it.
