Another late night

With most of the room empty only three remain. The programming guru, the aged engineer, and the president. The robot is getting some upgraded hard ware with a brushed finish and some updated programming.

The hard ware is a new plow on the front for easier ball hearding. We also added a new hanger stop so the contraption won't fall back on to its self.

The programming is for the kicker, but might not go into effect immedietly.

Another project being thought up is a vaccum pump to pull balls towards the robot and keep control of them.

The team is psyched for our competition this friday and the chairman's group are hard at work.

The last objective is to get recognition of the team from the office staff at the high school and get Mr. stevens to attend one of our competitions.

We hope all goes well this weekend.

Hello San Diego!

Hello followers! This is Nick Marsh of Team 815. I'm not a usual blogger, but the rest of my team is in San Diego, California for a big competition. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend and I wishI could have the fun they are right now, but the remainder of the team in Michigan and I still wish everyone the best of luck. They will be gone until Sunday, and upon their return, we will do some more work on our robot to make it even better. Until then, this is Nick Marsh signing off.
