<What was the Most Important Thing?>

Here is where you will describe what you did to day... make this detailed, so some one following your project can understand what you did.

What Steps Did We Solve:

1. Test Motors - Done - What did you complete
2. 
   

Next Steps:

 List all the current steps in order of priority. Mark "Pending", "In Progress", "Road Block", "Done"

1. Plan frame? - Pending - Possibly tube stock.  Need to talk to Welding teacher and student team
2. Motor Controller - Pending - Does the motor controller work. so we have Speck or data sheet for it.

Couch Potato - Project Kick Off... Meet the team

Couch Potato Project Kick Off

We call this project "Couch Potato". - Maybe adding wheels to the couch in order for it to move and designing a frame that will prevent it from tipping over and coding using python.  We have the wheels and motor from an Electric Wheel Chair.

We are still working on placing the wheels onto our base.

1. Charging Battery - Road Block
2. Construction - In Progress

RoomBoi Status
We have come up with a holder for the wheels using zip ties and some plastic. Now we are figuring out how we would put the entire thing onto our base,

1. Wheel Holder - Done
2. Charge Battery - Road Block - Still having difficulty
3. Placing Wheels - In Progress

Project X

• Zoe King

Overview: We are creating a drift trike, out of a bike that we are cutting apart and adding a gearbox, motor and drift wheels.

Project X:

Drift Trike
Status: Active

We need to complete the following in order.                                   

1. Remove pedals.                                                                               STATUS: COMPLETE.
2. Cut lower back part of bike.                                                            STATUS: COMPLETE.
3. tested motor to ensure it works                                                        STATUS: COMPLETE
4. Remove pedal arms and gears                                                         STATUS: COMPLETE
5. Remove Braking System                                                                 STATUS: COMPLETE
6. 3D Modeling gear box                                                                     STATUS: PENDING
7. Weld lower part of bike to the top of the chassis.                           STATUS: PENDING.
8. Reform seat to be lower.                                                                  STATUS: NOT STARTED.
9. Replace seat with a chair seat.                                                         STATUS: NOT STARTED.
10. Extend rear bike shaft.                                                                     STATUS: NOT STARTED.
11. Reform gear drive and bike chain.                                                  STATUS: NOT STARTED.
12. Add drift wheels.                                                                             STATUS: NOT STARTED.
13. Add and wire up motor to battery.                                                   STATUS: NOT STARTED.
14. Replace handle with reciprocating saw.                                        STATUS: NOT STARTED.

Next Steps: The next part for our project would be getting the rear steel frame bracketed onto the aluminum frame of the bike.

Mechanical Configuration:

Data Sheets: We plan to use 1 inch thick steel for our real axel which would cost about 50 dollars.

Tuesday, 1/23/18 R You C-ing This? ( RC Car)

Overview - Template For Robot Project Pages

This robot is a small 2 wheeled / caster platform.

Current Project Status:

1/22/2018 - We are still awaiting specific parts for beginning our RC Car, but while we are waiting. we're studying the steps on instructables in order to prepare ourselves for our start in the project.

Next Steps:

1.Acquire the parts needed for the project Road Block
2.Begin programming and building the base

Current Project Status:

We have not done much but we were coming up with designs and figuring out if wheels works.

Next Steps:

1. Robot Design - In Progress - Where do we need to put the arduino and other parts?
2. Test Wheel - Done - Do the wheels work? 
3. Charge Battery - Road Block - How can we find a way to reuse the battery?

WoHoooooooooooooooo Let's build some Robots

This site is where I and my SVCTE Mechatronics students will document the Robot projects we are building...

Each Robot Project will have a set of project "pages".  This is were we will document the specifications, user docs, current state and links to any schematics, source code, etc...

Each time a Student team updates their Robot Project Page, they will ALSO post a new Blog Post... The nomenclature for how to title the blog post will be the Robot Project names, and  will be something like <Robot Project Name - Informative description of progress>

What are some of the Robots we will have pages for?

• Duey
