"Try not. Do or do not, there is no try."

Week 2-
Team 1734 has been busy for the past two weeks. In the short time given, they've accomplished more than was expected. First
thing the Team
worked on was the light sensors. After a couple day so planning, designing, and trouble shooting, the camera
successfully was able to detect the
green light and follow it. The plans for the robot were then drawn and made. Team members
discussed the options they had for building the shooting
mechanism on the robot, but before they were actually ready to start
building the "shooter" the team decided to start with the basics, naturally. They
split up into different groups, usually between
classes, and one team started to design and build the body of the robot and the other group started
building a practice playing
field to test the prototype on.
Week 3-
Progress was put on a stand still as the team waited for some supplies. They got the basic designs and started to build the
playing field.
The team held after school sessions to work and also used up a couple hours on a Saturday. In the 3 weeks
they've been working they've accomplished more than what was expected of them and have exceded in many of the design fields.
Team 1734 is well on their way to
proving themselves in their debute. The team worked on programing the circuit board and was
busy making sure the motors were
running
correctly. They finished building the body and working on the drive train. By the end
of the week, the playing field was baiscally
completely
done.
Week 4-
The teamed stayed after school all week, including saturday. The robot was in operation but needed some things worked
out to make
sure it ran smoothly. Work on the body was also started. The team started putting together the carbon fiber base
and integrating
the
carbon fiber designs in with the robot. Mechanical work is still being done on the robot itself.
