Rebuilding our Claw (Week 12)

Although our claw was not completely bad it still needs improvement and will probably not complete the ball challenge unless we make the adjustments. Now we are dismantling the claw and adding weight to the squarebot. We are finding other battery clips as well because ours are broken.

Built our "Ball Claw" contraption (Week 11)

We have built the "grabber" and added a motor to the grabber so it lifts the ball in the hole. We are trying to add weight on the other side so that the robot does not fall over.

Virtual SolidWorks Build Pt. 2

Here is our Solidworks assembly of our square bot build with the claw added on along with some gears and a motor. It is in front, isometric, right, and top view.

Ball Challenge (Week 11)

Now we are planning on picking up a ball using our claw, so now we must rebuild our claw so it can pick up circular objects. We are also finishing up our SolidWorks for the claw portion of the robot.

Finished Claw (Week 10)

Claw assignment has been finished, both manually and autonomously. The Gears and Motors have been fixed accordingly and we have done our official run for out autonomous claw build.

Working on the claw ( Week 10 )

We are working on coding our claw as well as building the solid works claw. The solid works part became a little easier since the robot was already previously built from our first challenges.

Working on the SolidWorks+Autonomous Claw (Week 9)

Today we have continued working on the Solidworks of the robot by adding battery clips and the battery to the build. We have also added the first of the code to the autonomous claw to picking up the tetrahedron by itself

Did our Official Claw Run (Week 9)

We finished our claw and did our official test run. First time we did it, it was very close to finishing but it was dropped at last minute. The second test run went perfect where we put the two triangles in 30 seconds. Now we have to do this autonomously.

Connecting our Claw (Week 8)

We have connected the claw to the cortex. We did this through an extension wire and we plan to make a tetrahedron and program the claw next class.

Starting on our Claw (Week 8)

Today we started on our claw and put the motor on it. We have screwed in the foundation for the claw and preparing the claw. We are making a small gear move a larger gear to add more power and slows it down a bit.
