I hate blogging.
I think our robot is finally finished... wow... never thought it would happen. It absolutely DOMINATED zacs and tobys robot... it actually flipped it two times! twas mint as... this is a print screen of ELLAS amazing programming... i had nothing to do with this masterpeice. i was the constuctioner extrodinare..

The programming includes a wait 5 seconds, then if it sees white, reverse one rotation, if not, spin untill it sees something,then goes towards it. when it gets close enough, 15 cm away, its lifter lifts up to flip the robot.

Day eight..
wow... ok this is a huge step for mankind...or well maybe just y13computergeekkind...
JOSH posting a blog. for once hahahaha. well my paragraphs are "unstructured" (quote ms Wallace) deal with it.

OK so today we had the problem of the ultrasonic sensor facing upwards too far so the robot couldn't actually see anything... so it was josh to the rescue with his amazing building skills and the problem was quickly fixed.

had a few little battles. beat Mr Ross's a few times, lost a few times. he has the advantage when he is face on, but we do when back to back.

our lifter is being problematic.

Day seven...
still working on the programming.
Trying to establish the best amount of rotation for the flipper, so it will go up far enough without breaking.
also, the gearing slipped easily, so we put a smaller cog on, and made it tighter. Allowing less speed but more power. power is needed for lifting the other robots.
created a separate program for each function, so its easier to troubleshoot.
