Hour 6

Difficulties-

• Finding the right batteries to fit in the bot, which is now 2 inches lower than what it would have been.
• Finding how to integrate and program the weapon to a trigger on the joystick.
• Connecting the WHOLE bot together with all of the systems wired together (hasn’t been done yet because…..its…..hard….)
• Working with the other systems electronically (ordering other parts that satisfy their requirements.)
• Waiting for the parts to get in (working with Robot Marketplace……angry…)

Accomplishments-

• Finding small enough parts to fit in the NEW bot.
• Programming the drive correctly.
• Not breaking any parts (yet).
• Not having to reorder anything, sticking with the original parts or finding out what we need to order before we order it.
• Our system spreading out and helping other systems when our stuff is done and other stuff needs to be done in other systems.

Downright Awesomeness-

• Our system knows what to do and what needs to be done.
• We have a strategic system within our own system, its very organized.
• We communicate and cooperate well with each other; we haven’t had any disputes to slow our system down.
• Other systems have thanked us for cooperating well with the other groups, and for us not being a stumbling block, which can happen very easily.
• Elaborated with other electrical engineers, and researched, to find out the best way to wire our bot.
