H-32

Today, I just about finished my robot. I completed the code for the project requirements, including fixing my song. I also managed to accomplish almost both of the bonuses. I made it so that my robot can keep repeating the process of eating the fly. In addition, my robot is almost able to tell which color of fly it digests. I just need to change a light sensor value in my program, because what I had previously thought to be the median of the two balls' light sensor values was incorrect. I am ready for the final competition.

I will be cutting it close again for the challenge, but only because I did not read my instructions carefully. Hopefully I will be able to fix my code by tomorrow and get everything running. My views of this challenge have changed since we started. It was definitely easier than building a vehicle, because it didn't require a lot of architectural thought. I really hope I'll be ready for tomorrow.

Yesterday I started my programming and got a lot done in a class period. I got a good amount of my programming done and I will hopefully be about done with it all after today. All I have left to build on my robot is just something to 'lure' the 'fly', which will only take a few minutes. I am very confident that I will be ready in time.

I think that I am almost done with my project. So far, I have completed the requirements of the project, except for a few errors in my song. These should not take long to clean up tomorrow. However I still want to do both of the bonuses. I just need to write some more code to accomplish this. Getting the robot to repeat its eating process should be fairly simple. My robot should also be able to determine the color of the ball with some more code too because I built a light sensor into my robot during the construction process. I hope that I can complete both bonuses by the time of the competition.

Today I began the programming of my robot. I am still constructing at the same time because I have a minor setback. I can't completely guarantee that the ball will not fall out when its turned upside down. Overall I think one more day will be enough time for me to finish my project but it will be cutting it close.

H-31

Yeah well today I didn't really accomplish much unless you consider things that I should have had done on the second day accomplishing anything. My robot does nothing important right now and doesn't even have a top that you can drop the ball in. And I dont know how I am going to fit all the rest of that stuff onto it.

H-30

I have come across a lot of problems and havent gotten any of them really solved at all. And yeah, every time I get a problem fixed another one crops up that delays me even more. Maybe thats why I am so far behind. I dont even have any coherent moving parts that do anything. I dont even have any attractors or anything. And I didn't waste my time on this I tried but had a lot of set backs that kept keeping me from getting much done. Now I have to get more things done in such a short amount of time that I think this will be just another failed project.
