ClawBot: This Was Like 5 Minutes of My Life

SquareBot: This is 30 Hours of My Life

Week 11 (Beginning): The Totrahedren (???)

It's the start of Week 11 and we have completed the Tetrahedren (unknown spelling) Challenge and on our way to the autonomous challenge for it. We hope for a continued work ethnic and to catch up to our peers.

Week 10 (End): The Floppy Flopper Returns

We've been working on a way to perfect the crane over the week and i think we found the final form of the crane. Nate is still on solid works and he's working diligently  trying to finish the robot. Alejandro and I keep forgetting to bring straws for the tetrahedron but we'll bring them eventually. i believe the challenge will be a breeze if we ever get that tetrahedron

Week 10 (Beginning):The Floppy Flopper

The beginning of Week 10... A full 10 weeks have been put into this project and its really paying off! The robot in Solidworks has been completed and the Floppy Flopper (Crane) has been programmed; and started on the 3rd Challenge. With these completed we can definitely speed up the progress of building our robot. For this week we hope for hard work and determination to finish up the 3rd challenge.

Week 9 (End): Wot N Tarnation

                                                        

we have been working on the claw for about a week now and we're practically done. i think it'll be a challenge to program the robot to move the claw. we've looked at other teams robots and we got different ideas of how we should make it.

                                                        

Week 9 (Beginning): Challenge🌳 Accepted🌳

It's the beginning of week nine and our claw is in working progress. Alejandro and Andrew are in charge of finding the proper parts in order for the claw to move. while they are working on that Nate and I continue to work on Solidworks and editing our blog. Once everything is in place we can continue to squash the other teams at challenge three and move on to challenge four.

Week 8 (End): The Claw that will rule them all

This week we have started making the Claw for Challenge number 3. For this Challenge we have to put 3 triangles on a stand to score 100 points. In Solidworks we have gotten the Chassis going and on the actual robot we are still perfecting our claw. We hope for continued hard work and a strong work ethic and hopefully a finished claw.

Week 8 (Beginning): Challenge 2

This week were trying to program our robot to circle around 2 chairs 3 times but were having technical difficulties due to the fact that robots wont do the same thing twice. Our robot is continuing to go around the chairs once and then run straight into them. Another issue we had was the batteries had been empty due to the fact that no one thought to charge them... On the upside Nate has been working on building the robot through solid works and it's really starting to come together. No one ever said building a robot was going to be easy but its allot more fun with a team to work with.

Week 7 (End)

We are at the end of week 7 and we are finishing up a few things. We are trying to finish challenge two of doing three laps around two chairs. Once we figure out the perfect timing we will be able to do three complete laps. While we are working on the programming Nate is finishing up building the robot on solid works. Nate has to take in great detail of what the robot looks like and where all the parts are placed.

Week 7 (Beginning)

 This week we are Programming our robot so we can finally begin to move it around and see how it all works. We are using VEX to program our robot and to pair our controller. Once they are paired we can then find any flaws and work on fixing them. We have to keep an eye on our gears and how well our wheels move. Once we determine if we need to fix anything or have fixed everything we can then begin our challenges and determine how well it moves.

Week 6 (End): Moving Around

 It's end of Week 6 and we keep powering through the building process. We have gotten the chassis and the wheels done. So all we need is to actually finish the Squarebot and start on the Challenges. But for now we have tested the motors and are just fixing up any issues we see in the robot. We have completed most of our goals this week but we hope to continue the work ethic of the past week.

Week 6 (Beginning): Still Building

It's the start of Week 6 here at Godzilla Mothership and we've finally started building our robot to something the looks like a robot. We are currently trying to connect the motors to the chassis. We hope for this week a good work ethic and finishing up the Squarebot. We also need to focus on building the robot and not talking about things other then the robot.

Week 5 (End): The Squarebot

It's the of Week 5 and the end of Febuary! It has been a crazy 5 weeks of coding, robots, and blog post but Team Godzilla has made it through it. Our team this week has started to build our Squarebot. What could of gone better was having Monday to work (it was President's day) and having our full team here to work. We always hope for the continuity of teamwork and work ethnic.

Week 5 (Beginning): It'sssssss Robot Fighting Time!!!!

It's the start of Week 5 here at Godzilla Headquarters and it's really getting heated! The team this week hoping to get started building and learn how to make the famous Squarebot. The Squarebot is a simple robot with 4 wheels and no accessories (claw or arms). As we get started on the robot building we have also organized our toolbox so we know where and what each tool is. We continue to hope for the continuity of teamwork and our work ethnic.

Week 4 (End): Mail Call!!!

It's the end of Week 4 at South Plantation, and we've finally gotten a list of how are previous blogs are rated. The list will show how well we've done as a team working together. We also were assigned with the task of organizing the previous years boxes that contain the parts to build a robot. We could have been more as a team on our blogs because one of our members (me) didn't type up a post. Resulting in a 90/100 for Week 3.

Week 4 (Beginning): Disassembling

                                                           

       

This week we are working on disassembling the last year robots.
Once we are out with the old we can start building the best robot the world has every seen.
We hope to continue with our focus and learn how the teams last year created their robots.
We are extremely eager to figure out what makes these robots tick!

Week 3 (End): Build Time!!!!!!!

It's the end of week 3 and we've finally finished collecting all the badges with a total of 47. Since we have over 30 badges we can start with the robots. Before we build our robots we have to take apart last years robots and see how they work. We'll like to approve our coding skills without the controller and learn how to take apart a robot.

Week 3 (Beginning): Badges, Badges, and More Badges!

It's the start of Week 3 at Godzilla Headquarters. This week the team is trying to get as many badges as they possible can get. Having to get 30 badges total is a piece of cake. For this week the team hopes to maintain focus and determination to get the badges!!!

Week 2 (End): Virtual World

                                  

This week we have began working on programming in the virtual worlds, at first we were overwhelmed by everything but now we believe we have the gist of it. Programming the virtual robot to move was a lot of fun because you're in the control of the robots destiny.

                                            

Week 2 (Beginning): Getting Started

It's the beginning of the 2nd week of Robotics and it's looking great! Today we finished up the presentations and started working in the Virtual Worlds of Vex. For this week my team and I hope for continued focus. We need to also start getting badges in Virtual Worlds and learn about the creation of robots.

Week 1 (End): Creation of Team Godzilla

It's been the 1st week of robots and its been chaotic. From presentations to Inventor our time in Engineering has been a blast. Team Godzilla has been fun to work together on our presentation of Gears but we could have been more productive. We're always hopeful for the continuity of being productive and fun!
