Week Two
In week two, we further designed components of the robot and began assembling a basic chassis.

In week three, we got parts designed in CAD and machined. We also received belts and other parts from Dayco to begin work on the drive system, which had its first successful test Saturday night.
-
Week Four
In week four, we machined a lot of parts for various components of the robot. On Thursday, the chassis was welded. We had our final water-jet cut versions of the tank tracks attached to the robot, and they will just need some minor adjustments.

Week Five
Our robot is finally starting to look like a robot. The animation has been finished. Our website is being updated almost daily. CAD is working on drawing all the components. The kicker is working. The telescoping tube/wire + hook to hoist our robot up is being finished up. A ball magnet is being developed.
