"Signed up for time to work at the competition (thursday) since I will be gone over the weekend the competition takes place. I think we will be able to complete our bot but it will take a lot of effort."

"- We had trouble uploading interactive C programs, and our temporary solution was to use a different computer to upload the programs. - If we can get our robot working by the end of the week so it actually does something useful, we'll know we were successful. - We used extreme programming in class, then my roommate and I worked together almost like extreme programming, but we both did research and constantly communicated. - We got some sensors hooked on to our robot, this is interesting because now some useful programs can be written. - We should have done more planning before we started building, and that is probably something that I should remember because lack of planning will occur in the future as well."

"We have an idea of our drive train now and we are working towards integration. I enjoy the extreme programming because it gives everyone a chance to work on the project. For example being an ME I do not have a very strong programming background but I am good with gears so I got to maximize my usefulness by working on the drivetrain while others work on the programming side."

"Today in class we tidied up the lab and worked on our robot. One of our team members was not there and hasn't shown up to any of our meetings in a while. At this point we aren't going to be able to effectively use pair programming because the team effort is very inconsistent. We've decided to just work on as many different parts as we can separately and we will try to merge things together as needed. While this may not be as structured as it could be, I believe at this point it will be the most efficient and realistic. A full team meeting is scheduled for tomorrow during class time."

We're getting to the point of simplifying our design - drastically - for the BB competition. We heard that some teams didn't even have anything working for the competition and we'd like to prevent that from happening to us."

"I tried to convince some other team members that a motor or two was the only way we were going to be able to make this thing work, because hydralics took too much space and weren't powerful enough. However, we did not get around to implementing a motor." "B5C4BAF84E214F99B75CDBF27BB7D47B" "Meyer, D.

Lindsey just sits their and plays her DS or does nothing."

We were having a lot of difficultly getting the software to work with the robot. Right before the end of class we think we may have solved it. We may have not had all of the correct items installed on our computer. I will be able to talk to Christopher on Friday to see if he was able to fix the problem."

I was disappointed to see that the engine crew had completely redesigned the engine block AGAIN forcing us to be somewhat creative with how we attach all our pieces to the block. I then showed the team my problem and it was actually Steven that came to the rescue. He suggested a motor way to lift the cage up that was pretty simple and easy to understand. I then spent the next hour trying to find and put together something that sorta resembles what Steven was talking about. Unfortunately, I once again didn't quite finish and I am going to disappear for the weekend to a Animation Convention in Chicago. I hope my team pushes forward and completes alot of stuff without me."

In the meantime, I am spending my time reading articles and obtaining other forms of research material so that we will have something to start with."
