Week 7 (4/8-4/12) Outcome

Very soon, our VEX robot is to be tested in the Arena. Thankfully, after lots of tweaking, we now have a stable end effector attatched.



















It's extremely heavy, but we can lift it fairly easily because our robot's rather high amount of torque (force acting on the gears). But, that torque also means the arm cannot be lifted very high. So, we will get our Arena points by lining the end effector up with the lowest ring and repeatedly looping it through.






















Unfortunately, our SolidWorks has yet to be completed. It must be somehow completed by the onset of next week...
