We are working by busy little bees to get ready for our competition, which is on December 11. That may seem like a long time, but for us that is really a blink of an eye. We have 7 working programs and 6 arms that we are trying to amalgamate (a fancy word for combine) into one "super arm" as quoted by Matt. This super arm could feasibly work for a grand total of four programs. At the moment, there is an annoyingly loud human clock in the room. Be QUIET!
Anyways, this is a looong process, as you might guess---it's like trying on pair after pair of shoes, and they don't fit! (Yes, this is a girl speaking.) I mean that literally -- we are trying on arms only for them not to work...likewise with the programs. It's very trial and error. These are Anna's thoughts.
There was an issue with this one year with robots --- We had two very well made robots both with their pros and cons and my [Matt's] robot was very stable and couldn't perform well. The other one was could perform but wasn't very stable so we took the latter and stabilized it so we could use it for competition. Those are Matt's thoughts. Just so you know, Matt said the part about the human clock. That was Anna.
