__**Things the Robot need**__ **Metal detector, images in it's brain, anything to pick up alluminuim cans, voice box, remote control, mechanism to regonise cans. By: Vanessa Zhu** __**13/05/2011**__ __**Today we started making our robots. We first made the main body with lego and thats it. By:vanessa Zhu**__

Today we made the rest of the body and put in the battery and joined the wires from the wheels to the battery. We also joined the heads to the battery as well. By:Vanessa zhu

Today we have to finish our robots. We are working on the claws and are putting in the touch sensor. So far we have put in the touch sensor and are having a bit of trouble joining the claw to the rest of the robot. One of our objectives today is to find out what the head piece does. We reckon it is ultrasonic. The robot's body is all finished. By: Vanessa Zhu

Today we are programming and testing the programming. We have tried many times but every program has fallen into the pit. We are trying to make the claw go the way we want it but the claw keeps on going backwards. Our aim today is to make our claw go the way we want it to and to finish the robots design and try and get the programming right.we want it to go and make the touch senser meet the can and then drop it and go to get the other cans.By:Vanessa Zhu

17/06/11 Today we are finishing the robots programming and hopefully finish the project. We are just testing our programming, and finding a program that will work.

Today we need to get the ultrasonic sensor to see the aliminium can and try move towards the can, if it doesn't move towards the can we hope we will program it to turn 360 degrees and stop when it sees the can. By: Rocco Liu and Vanessa Zhu

We are expirerencing some "glitches" because our U.S.B cable isn't working because SOMEONE!, in our group messed with the on/off switch. ( NO naming names,CHUANG!) so we are not allowed to download anything from any computer onto our robot and our claw is breaking down. So in the meantime we are just trying to work out the programming of the ultrasonic sensor but we are unable to test it out. Our minds are going AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH, BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
