 DEKA is right next to the river, and when i got there this morning they wouldn't let us into the building, but apparently there is and standing water on the first floor. The ironic thing is that i work on the water project and we can't deal with a bit of water on the floor - Greg Needel [more] |

Re: Who is finished???
The mechanical guys say we should be finished mechanically this Saturday (hopefully), and then I get to start working on the real programming.

Re: Who is finished???
Our team is no where near done. We have our design done and hashed out. Fabrication will be taking place for the next 2 weeks. After that we will be programming and testing untill test. Hopefully this will be the first year we dont have to build right up until the fedex truck arrives.
Oh and the robot is only finished after your last competition.

Re: Who is finished???
I think we are supposed to be finishing the build this Saturday, but there still would be testing to be done to make sure it works!

Not finished, but on track. We are waiting on some parts from a sponsor who is a little overdue, but as soon as we get those... we have our 40lb (electronics included) drive base finished. Fabrication of peripherals should be done mid next week.

Re: Who is finished???
thoughts are coming together... and hopefully they will form a robot.
but hey, whatever the mechanical team isnt able to do the software team can do, right? Shipping date is looking a lot closer than it should....

Re: Who is finished???
Robot? What robot?! We were suppose to build a robot. Ah man, don't know how the team's going to take it when I tell them the news.lol
But seriously, we're not even %50 done. We know exactly what we're building, the right parts are the problem. Our OI board, electronics board, and crate is done though.

Re: Who is finished???
Materials, materials, materials. It seems to be the one biggest problems we're having, having to order something and having to wait on parts. Our frame has been welded and a few other parts of been manufactured. We should have a drive up and running by this weekend if all goes according to plan, as well as our other parts coming together as well
 These six weeks sure are flying by...

Re: Who is finished???
The left side and bottom half of our robot is completely done, the right is held on my clamps and springs and a punch tool.

Re: Who is finished???
We finished our first chassis yesterday and we had it driving around. So now, software gets some time to play with it. We have to make some minor adjustments tomorrow, but after that it should be a pretty smooth ride.
Our schedule says that our second robot will be completed two weeks from now. I really think we can pull it off.

ya our robot is coming slow and steady. its a slight bit behind schedule, but nothing too bad. we just got two more banebot gearboxes last night (shout out to GODWIN team 540 lives!) and we will finish up the drive once exams are over and we are allowed to work again. besides that, an arm and some small little things need to be added and it will be done. we still cannot decide whether to have a simple scooping mechanism or a claw type grabing thing on the end of the arm, so we are making both. but honestly, making two full robots....gee wiz...
