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.
