Day 44

Today we spent 13 hours in the shop and boy does it show! We touched up the practice robot and installed some sensors, but we spent most of the day on the competition robot. We assembled all of the subsystems, and mated the two halves around noon, from then on we started paying lot of attention to detail. I assembled and put some vinyl on. Here's a picture!

Looks pretty snazzy if you ask me!

Here's a shot of the competition robot around lunch time.

I love it!

During lunch since I had a little extra time, I figured I'd do a little vinyl for the driver station laptop. 

Here's a shot of the robot at the end of the day!

Awesome!

Our programer also programed a code that automatically senses when the balls are in the elevator and rolls the balls to the bottom of the elevator, sucks up a new balls, then rolls then all up together so there will never be a lag in having to intake! I made the mistake of not bringing home to cord for the video camera, so I can't edit a video of it tonight, but I'll do it tomorrow at lunch and get it up on here! We're looking fairly on schedule, knock on wood!
