Week 8 (4/15 - 4/19) Outcome

We've bent the corners of the end effector so that the ball doesn't roll off the edges when it exits the continuum. I took a picture of this adjustment... in WIIIIIIIIIDESCREEEEEEEEN (just kidding, I cropped it).

Here's some teamwork for the books. Someone from another team is helping us program our Autonomous, and in exchange, we're letting his team use some of our supplies and some of our design ideas for his robot.

So now it's Friday, and we're going to test our robot. Let's do this.

And now... for what is, I believe, to be the very first video on this blog...

As you saw in the video, the continuum itself, for the most part, works like magic. But what you didn't see was our problems with actually picking up the ball for the first time. So, we must come up with a solution for that next week.
