For this week, we only plan to put the finishing touches on our putting green since our robot has been completed and we would only need to practice with it. Other than finishing our putting green, we have to finish the PowerPoint fully explaining our game and every aspect of it. Even though we have a full week of school, everything is due Wednesday so we have no time to fool around.</div>

For this week, we aim to finish coding our robot. Unfortunately, our coder Masen isn't here today and can't continue programming our new brain so whenever we want to run the robot, we have use the old brain. There is only this week and next week remaining in the semester so the robot is complete, only small fixes and constant checking of the pieces is left other than the programming.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
In this extremely short week, we managed to complete a considerable amount work especially considering we only had two days of class. Unfortunately, we haven't completed any of the coding yet and will definitely be done with that some point next week. On the other hand, we successfully installed the rotation device for our put-put arm so it can now move to a different side of the robot allowing us more options when hitting the golf ball.<br />

We vastly improved the arm this week. New Vex parts came in so we were able to take off a bunch of the pieces we were using and switched them out for the newer pieces. We have a new brain, controller, and pieces to hold the ball extractor. The robot now looks very sleek and will run a lot better once we program the new brain. </div>

This week we only aim to perfect our ball extractor. We are running multiple tests with it and seeing how well it takes the ball out of the hole we plan on using. We noticed a problem where the extractor becomes slightly unstable when we move the it too far down. Also, the extension that hold the piece of the PVC is weak and we hope to figure out a way to strengthen it.</div>

<b>End of the Week: Finishing the Finishing Touches</b></h2>
<b><br /></b>
After we finished with the development of the "ball extractor" we tested it out to see if there were any "technical difficulties" with it and found out that there was barely any weight on the front of the bot thus causing it to be lifted while using the "ball extractor" to "extract" the golf balls from the holes and fixed it by acquiring a couple of weights to help the front of the bot. We have also begun to plan out and build the golf course in the mat currently located in the classroom.<br />

For this week, our group hopes to complete the rack and pinion system. We have it somewhat secured on the robot and will be installing what we call the "ball extractor" in order to remove the ball from the hole. We have also been testing out different sizes for the hole and ball extractor that would suit the robot and wouldn't make the game too easy.</div>

<b>End of the Week: Fresh Ideas</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We have decided on how to make the game more complicated to be used. The robot will have to pick up the ball out of the whole after the ball get putted in. This will force teams to use a second device to get the ball out of a narrow hole. We came to the decision of using a rack and pinion system to lower into the hole and take the ball out. </div>

<b>Beginning of the Week: More Brainstorming </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So as we were practicing with the robot last Friday, Mr. Martin watched briefly and said that our robot was too simple and the robot needed another arm or accessory on it. The game is a good idea, but needs to add more challenge to it because all the robot has is a drive train and spinning arm. This week we hope to add another aspect to the game requiring a second arm or further complicating the game so that it's allowed. Other than that we will just continue to make small modifications to the robot we find necessary.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So for this whole week, we practiced with the robot even more. We're slowly getting better and better at determining how to hit the ball and where it will go when we hit it. A lot of the hits are very inaccurate mostly due to never playing put-put with a robot before. One thing we did improve on the robot was the arm design. Previously we had a small piece of Vex metal to hit the ball, but we now have a solid block of plastic which allows us to hit the ball farther. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
We plan to practice our put-put for this week and make any necessary improvements on the robot to allow us to hit it in the hole in a minimum amount of hits. We might add an arm in the center because we designed the robot to fit a gold ball under the center. This can allow us to get more accurate hits and prevent us from needing an extra hit or two due to inaccuracy.</div>

<b>Beginning of the Week: Fixing the Bot</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This week we hope to finish our robot as we had a bad motor and needed to replace it which involved taking off on half of the robot. We also need to code the robot still, but before coding the robot, we need to finish building it. We hope we can do that in a timely manner so we can code the robot and have a working robot that doesn't break the rules by the end of this week. Luckily we found another big motor to replace our faulty one and will be installing that. We also needed to align the motors because one side was one space to the left.</div>

It's a whole new bot, sort of. We ended up having to create a new design for our robot. To better fit our arm on the side of the robot so it can hit the golf ball we had to make a smaller version of the bot. At its initial size, we would be breaking the rules for fitting it in an 18X18X18 cube because it would be too wide with the arms on each end. So now the only change has been a more compact robot. The coding still isn't completed due to complications with the brain of the robot.</div>

We were able to fix the problem with the wheel on Friday so now the robot is up and running. The controls for it are inverted so this week we plan on implementing a code to adjust the controls to our liking. Other than coding the robot were going to begin building the arm so that we can hit the ball into the hole for our challenge.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
We decided on what game we were going to use. It is a simple game that only requires a moving robot and some type of functioning arm to hit the ball. The game is put-put with a robot. We have to develop some type of field before we can test our design. As for the robot, we have established a chassis although we are having complications with the wheels.<br />

This week we are starting the competition. It firsts starts with every group making their own competition and a robot for that competition. Our goals for this week are to decide on a competition we want to showcase and build a robot for that competition. The robot will take some time so other than getting the required pieces for our robot we just plan on establishing a chassis by the end of the week.<br />

We were able disassemble all of the previously used robots this week. All we had to do is organize the pieces into separate bins. For example, all batteries together in a bin, or all controllers together in a bin. Next week we will probably distribute out the parts so every group can work on their own game and robot for that game.</div>

This week we just got our group established. As a class we decided that each group comes up with their own game and builds a robot for it. The best voted game is the one everyone else will have to rebuild their robot for. Since we just finished the tug of war competition all we are doing this week is taking apart each robot and organizing the parts into specified bins.</div>
