Last Night was our third meeting in building our robot for the Moonbots competition. Krishen did great work in building the base of the robot in Lego Digital Design. We spent 45 minutes assembling the robot per his instructions. At which point we found some design flaws with the base of the robot which needed to be addressed.
D-Tyler was prepared with a lift mechanism that requires one motor. He built it with the help of his friend David and came prepared to give a demonstration. Each day that I worry weather or not the team will complete the design proposal by this Friday, I'm totally amazed by the devotion and commitment each team member has to completing the project.
By 8 pm, we signed off and parted ways. Krishen is adding the lift mechanism to the drawing in LDD and Lucas and Seth are working on supporting the track bases with reinforcements. Hopefully I will be able to upload some images of the robot on Tuesday. It looks like the hard work will pay off on Friday.
Tuesday, each team member will write down some personal thoughts on Space exploration and what they have learned so far in the competition. I will also take the video of each team member discussing the importance of landing on the moon. Depending on how hard it is to splice the video together you might see it on the blog by tomorrow night.
With that, our team is signing off!
