Progress:
-
This week we completed further research on both the
launching mechanism and easyC V4. As for the launcher, we’ve completely ruled
out any electromagnetic mechanism as all research indicates that currently
there is no technology that allows for an electromagnet strong enough to pull
something towards it from very far. Today, Mr. Lin purchased our previous
materials list, shown in a prior blog post. As for easyC, we’re still working
through reading and watching tutorials.
Problems:
-
Not long after purchasing the materials for the
launching mechanism, we asked Mr. Lin if we would be able to bring in a power
drill to work on building the launching mechanism. We then received a copy of
the school code on what’s defined as a weapon, and we may have to scrap our
launcher design again. We will meet with Mr. Lin ASAP to discuss this.
Plan:
-
For
this week we plan to start work on the launcher, possibly the robot as well. We
also plan to continue our easyC research. The launcher assembly will depend on
what we discuss with Mr. Lin regarding the school’s rules.
