Current Progress and Thoughts


Currently, I have built a successful robot that can solve a mission. The mission it can solve is the "Nanotube Strength" mission. In addition, I plan to have a mission-to-mission combo, where the robot solves one mission, then solves another without returning to base. A positive effect is that it saves approximately half a minute because it would waste time to make the robot return to base, and have the pilot of the robot attach a different attachment to go solve another mission. Instead, I made my arm versitale so that it can solve many missions with just one attachment.
Furthermore, Mr.Wright mentioned that it would be strategic if every other group in the club built an exact replica of the robot I have now because it was most versatile, thus, we will have more success if we each have the same robot, and focus on different missions each. As a result, we will combine our solved missions in one, therefore, we have one big team. I think this will be a great success because 5 minds are better than 1.
