Week 1
We booted up the practice robot and installed the camera into the CRio and tested a few motors in the new GUI.

Week 2
This week we were able to get the robot to go over the hump and get the camera to locate the target. If the drive train team can get their act together and fix the motors, we can do more testing with the robot. Hopefully the rest of the team will tell us what the final design for the robot is so we can finish the electronics and the software.

Week 3
This week we got a lot of testing in using the robot. We plan to install more components to the electrical board, our team is also creating final plans for the electrical arangements.

So far, the robot was tested, and was able to successfully navigate the bumps. The vision system proved to be too troublesome and time consuming. After several hours spent tweaking it, the results were not reliable enough to be useful.

Week 4
After all of the surprises (they weren't good ones) and obsticles that we faced, we were finally able to mount our electrical boards onto the robot!! Also, we were able to test our code using omni wheels (after weeks of begging) and were happy with what we saw. The robot was able to drive over the bump with omni's in the front and in the back.

We transfered our tools and spare parts to our new toolbox and completed our spare partslist. So far all we have left to do is mount the camera and complete autonomous mode (that shouldn't be hard though).

Week 5
This week we did a lot of testing at Building H. we improved our code for the robot. We also added an autonomous mode. We currently are doing finishing touches to our wiring. We are looking forward to the Regionals on March 11-12.
