Week 8 (4/8 - 4/12)

This week was mainly focused on adding finishing touches to the course and the programming of the robot.
Also, a good amount of time was spent on preparing the poster for the presentation. We all agreed on a catchy title and the poster is ready to be submitted. The course is also fully functional and the programming of the car is finished (mostly). All that is left now is to add more of a design to our robot, and "pretty up" the course with paint and other materials to make it look more presentable. This will the be the focus of the next (and final) week.

Week 7 (4/1 - 4/5)

This week the course construction was finished and now all that is left is the programming of the robot (which progress was made this week on that also) and some final visual touches on the course.

Week 6 (3/25 - 3/29)

This week was a very productive week for sunny wheels. We started construction on the course and had a few breakthroughs in the programming of our robot, who we've decided to name "Wall-e" from Disney's movie "Wall-e".

Week 5 (3/18 - 3/22)

This week we cut the wood for the course, and continued playing with the programming for the robot. Unfortunately the car production has been put to a stop due to not having the solar panels yet. The robot is mostly done, aside from not having the solar panels. The course still needs some work, but we will be working on it mainly next week. We will also be focusing on the programming of the robot next week.

Week 4 (3/11 - 3/15)

This week was spring break. We didn't spend very much time working on the project during spring break due to conflicting schedules. We did have one of our members go and buy some of the materials.

Week 3 (3/4 - 3/8)

This week, the group mainly focused on getting the car ready. We played around a little with the programming and looked into what materials to buy for the course and possible add-ons to the car.

Week 2 (2/25-3/1)

This week the group continued to work on the blue-prints and finished up working on the budget. A complete budget should be submitted by the end of this week.

Week 1 of posting (2/18-2/22)

This week the group worked mainly on the budget. We also started working on the blueprints for the course and the car itself.
