1/21/10 – The Mechanical team wanted the control board to be on the new robot so that the programming team is able to work with the new robot in Java. The mechanical team took off the C-RIO and the wireless connection. The programming team was working with Java to program the old robot to drive (last year they used C++). The physics group was trying to find the rotational energy and force required for the soccer ball to go over the bump. They figured out that rolling the ball over the bump was much easier than trying to kick the ball through it.
