3/15/11

People Present: Holden, Logan, James, Matt, Andrew, Sean, Grant Mr. Reidy, Mr. Pontius

Today James used Watson to figure out how to program the touch and lights sensors for the rotbot.
Sean, Matt, Andrew, Holden, Mr. Pontius, and Mr. Reidy worked on adding a touch sensor to the robot.
They also refined the bull nose.
Logan took notes for the blog for Connor who wasn't able to attend tonight.
Grant made sights for the baton collecter.
During Testing-
The new bull nose did a good job controlling the rolling goal.
The new addition to the arm did a good job of capturing the rolling goal.
With the new addition to the arm, the robot was able to unload batons from the dispenser while dispensing them into the rolling goal because the rolling goal was grabbed by the robot.

  2. Also, good work on dispensing directly into the rolling goal. That was our strategy as well, and when we were able to pull it off, we were unstoppable. Unfortunately, it's very easy to get pushed out of the way if there's not another bot playing heavy defense.

    Good luck!
