Weekly Accomplishments (11/1): Torque and Claw

This week, we have completed our robot, for the most part. First of all, we've added torque to the tower - a lot more torque.


 
The claw is our new end effector and it has proven itself capable of lifting cubes in the arena. Of course, there is a motor attached to the claw (so it can move), and we've added an extension to the wire coming from the motor so it can go straight to the tower without getting caught in anything. Oh, and the armor surrounding the brain is still there from the last challenge - there is still the danger of the claw falling down hard on the brain.


















Other than that, the only thing left for this challenge is for me to figure out how to program VEX. That's right: I'm in charge of the Autonomous aspect of the challenge. Oh boy.
