Today in robotics, my partner and I built the base of the robot. The base of the robot consists two motors and parts that hold the gears in place to make the motor work. The gears have to touch each other in order to make the motor of the robot work. Then, next week we will be putting the wheels on and programming our robot. We are a little behind everyone else but if we work hard enough and together, we can catch up and eventually pull ahead of the rest of our competition. My experience with working with this robot is a little frustrating because the manual is not accurate enough and it doesn't give the directions as good as it should for first time robot builders. It is also frustrating because the screws are very little and often fall out of place among assembling them. And, instead of screw drivers we have allen wrenches which are very little and doesn't really help with trying to attach the screws to the bolts. But overall, robotics is really fun and entertaining. A little frustrating, but fun.
