1/12/10 – We broke up into groups : CAD, Mechanical, and software. The CAD group was working on the chassis design. They worked on re-designing the chassis given. Programming started working with the old robot, trying to get it to work with the mini pc. Programming also switched over to Java. The mechanical group decided on 3 major possibilities for the robot design. Shop-in-a-box was put on a halt after voting the on robot drawings that Nazmin created. Some of the members started working on the Physics aspect of the build. They measured the minimum velocity to get over the bump. They found the minimum velocity to be 1.6486m/s.
