I don't think it's going to be ready at all for saturday." "We'll see if other people come through with their parts, but my guess is no, since I havn't seen many of them around to much. We'll see how much they are actually working."

"Setting up was very fun and I think our robot is almost done. XP seems to work pretty good and we have not come across very many problems using this method of programming."

"- Our light sensor wasn't working, and it turned out to be because it was plugged into the wrong slot. - Our robot is almost ready for the competition and we'll find out there how effective it is. - We followed the extreme programming method. - I learned that it is always good to check the most basic solution to a problem first. If we had checked the connection first we could have saved alot of time. - The idea of checking the easiest solution first is something that I should remember to do in the future."

The paper is going well and I am learning a lot mor about how robotics and mechanical engingeering can be linked."

"I was very happy as tonight we were able to bring together several parts of the robot to complete a system able to pick up and transport the balls. All but two members of our team showed up and helped contribute to the construction."

"Our botball is horrible. We just figured out that the balls are placed behind us and not in front so our whole strategy is ruined."

We decided during the time afterward that we needed to use two motors, since our 'bot couldn't go over the PVC pipe reliably. This took a little while to do, since we're not using the LEGO motors (I think all the working ones were taken)."

"So in class, I think my team realized there wasn't a whole lot that could get done in 45 minutes on our BB robot (which is ALWAYS the case) and planned to meet on Friday evening to "do stuff". Also later that day I helped build a couple botball arenas, which worked pretty well. And heated PVC pipe smells awful." "612741E37BDA43C09D564CA11D909E54" "Meyer, D. Christopher" "meyerdc" "5/15/2006 3:40:31 PM" "1.5 hours" "I went to class today and worked on the bot some more." "There hasn't been much more help from Lindsey or Jeff on the bot. It was nice to see that John was at least taking some interest. I've ask Jeff and Lindsey multiple times to do something basic like coding, but they don't seem too interested. I just don't know what else I could do." "888A2ACC54024384B59ABB9460538661" "Mohling, Nathan" "mohlinna" "5/15/2006 11:53:06 PM" "6 hours" "Worked on robot."

I also stayed after to continue working on our group robot." "The main objective on Thursday was to try and finish all the loose ends on our robots. By the end of class we were not even close to finishing up everything. The main reason that we weren’t able to get our robots working is because of the lack of support from our some of our group members. Two of the members of our team did not do a single thing with the robots this entire semester. This includes building, designing, or programming. We could have easily got our robots working if everyone would have helped. One of our team members has worked on Japanese homework every single day of class. Every time we have asked him to help he always says he can’t because he is too busy."

The engine team STILL can't figure out how to get the robot over the piping. I have now reached the decision that we will not sucessfully complete this robot on time. It is time to cut down on what we were doing for it and focus on gaining as many points as possible. I threw out the ball cage and that whole mess. If we can't get over the pipe, what does it really matter? I then condensed the grappler claw down in size and attached it to the rear of the robot. Hopefully, this is a good step in the right direction."

" "We added another motor to the back set of wheels, so now we have four-wheel drive on the bot. We thought that this was necessary because the bot could barely get over the pipes on its own, and we hadn't even added in the weight of any of the other parts, or even the handyboard yet."
