__Week 1__
**At the momment we are designing our robots and working out how they are going move by searching through the box and finding pieces for the robot**. -Lachlan media type="custom" key="9408610"

__** Week 2 **__ Mainly, this week we have been trying to build the claw, and connect the "brain" to the wheels. While 1 of us is buliding the claw, the other 2 are doing other stuff, like connecting the "brain" to the wheels. While doing that, I found out how to get onto the programing system, so we can program the wheels and claw to move. But, seeing as we have not been told about programming yet, it didn't really work. -Emily

__** Week 3 **__ We have disconnected the "brain" from the wheels and stabled it.

__**// Goals //**__ Finish Building-done. Test All Functions.

**__Week 7__**
We are just programming our robot, and it is alot harder than it sounds. But, what we want to program it to do is open its eyes, look for the can until it is found, then, when the robot has found the can we need it to clench it in its claw around it, pick it up, and drive backwards to base. -Emily

**__Week 8﻿__** This week we are still trying to program it, but we think we have the programming in it. But, we cant jump to conclusions, and we still need to try it. -Emily

**__Week 9__** This has been a very unsuccesful week, as we have not done anything. Lachlan has been mucking around, and playing with anything he looks at. So,as I was saying, we have not done anything useful, and dont alot of time left. Although, we are past half way (only just) so we still have a chance of finishing it completely. Well, at least we hope so. -Emily __**Week 10**__ So far, we are still programming our robot, and are just seeing how well it works. Programming is very frustrating in some ways, and we have tryed just SOOOO many ways for it to work. Lachlan and Brendon are still useing there imaginations to try and work this thing and we are hoping that it will work. It is our second to last lesson, and we are not sure what is going to happen. The 2 boys are going well (at-least thats what they are saying....) but I hope that they are right, and are not fibbing to stop me freaking out. Still, it may work; we can only hope.......... -Emily

**__Week 10 Photos.... __**



__** Week 11 **__ It is our last ever Robotics lesson, and it is a time that we are quite upset about it. But, we have still got to finish our programming and we are under pressure. We only have a small amount of time to finish. Brendon and I have tryed the programming that he did and it didn't work. So, we are changing the range and hopefully that will work. IT DID!!!! Finally we have got it to get the can and pick it up!!!! We are SO pleased that we have made a break through on our last time.

Bye and thanks reading.We have enjoyed it allthe time we have been here.
