Week 1: Brainstorming


                                









Welcome back everyone! We are working on creating an idea for the robot we want to build. So far, we have decided what we want the chassis to be (see photo) and are deciding what mechanics we want to add to our robot. Our goals for this week include figuring out exactly how our robot will work and getting approval from our teacher before the end of the week.

-4 axles that will be used to pick up the yellow stars 
-We are adding rubber bands to the robot that will aide the robot in catapulting the stars
-The rubber bands will also be used to help pull the robot up to the high part of the pole
-We are adding all the weight to the front so the robot does not fall when the stars are launched
-4 wheels 
-4 motor shooter 
-8 rubber bands
