Today we visited the KB machine shop to work out some of the details and make some changes to our bot.

Electric Slide

Christmas is coming. Only 4 days of school left. Good for most students, but hair-raising for Battlebot students. We need to get the Battlebot to function by the end of the fiscal year. We are coming along though. For the electrical system, we are working on perfecting the programming and driving of our bot. We are working with PBASIC to adjust the speed and sensitivity of our Battlebot. It is a lot of trial and error, but is going pretty well. We are also experimenting with employing one joystick instead of two to make driving somewhat easier. Also, we are having a trigger switch on our Battlebot. That's a wrap for now. Merry Christmas to all!
