What we want our robot to accomplish - Our plan
We wanted our robot to be able to move over the "speed bumps" and move horizontally.
We wanted it to be able to place blocks on the top level, move the ducks, and move the balls.
We wanted it to move in autonomous and accomplish: deliver ducks, park completely in the box, and put freight completely in the shipping hub.
What we started with:
We started with scraps, and random parts from past kits.
What we have now:
We now have a bit of funding from our school.
We have a fully functioning team.
We have a robot.
We have a plan.
