CJ and Dustin,
You were very active during the last school year. Your newsletter was informative and interesting. Based on evidence of your creativity, enthusiasm, and introduction to the engineering disciplines, you appear poised for a memorable and productive senior year.
Request your thoughts on what value to a customer your robotics project will provide. Does the robot help her in some way? Does it retreive items underwater and bring them to the surface? Does it clean pools? Does it retrieve lost items which have a Bluetooth or other unique transmitting device enabled (e.g., lost cell in the house, car keys, or garage door opener)?

Hello Mr. Badger,
So far we have taken inventory of our VEX robotics sets and have been working on our project blogs. The Blogs contain information on the Specifications, Limitations, project status, Background Information, and much more on the project. We will send you the links to these blogs as soon as we get approval from our instructor. Our project now is to design an aquatic vehicle that accomplishes certain challenges and a terrestrial vehicle that will gather endangered Piping Plover eggs without breaking them or disturbing the surrounding environment. We will keep you updated as we move along. Thank you very much for your time.

SentHello,
Here is the link for the blogs we have been working on in class http://brzozowskivex.blogspot.com/
Right now we are working on our alternative solutions and will have images of what we want the product to look like up soon.
Thank you for your time

Hey Pete, I know it's been a while, but I have a question the VEX robotics project. I don't know how to make a model for the electrical portion of the project. Rob tells me you did the electrical part so I was wondering if you could give me an idea of where to start? thanks! CJ and Dustin

CJ and Dustin, basically you want to model all of the major components of the electrical system in your drawing and connect them with lines to represent wires.. what i had was (you should look up the appropriate ways to draw these) a battery with wires going to the microcontroller. from there - since everything plugs into this - i had lines going to each component. So i think we had like four motors, a few servos, and a camera, and receiver, so i placed them on the drawing roughly relative to where they are located on the robot. i'm pretty sure there's a standard depiction for a receiver and i just used a light source to represent the camera. Also another thing to keep in mind is that if the component has more than one wire (e.g. three wire motors) you need to represent that on the diagram. so i think that's enough to get you started. let me know if you have any more questions and good luck! Peter

Discussed the background of the project, sent our blog information, and the mechanical and electrical aspects of the project.
Contact 10: October 14, 2011 Face to Face for about half of an hour
Discussed the mechanical and electrical aspects of our project with Mr. Barrall. We also went over the basic idea of our project, and the tasks we hope to accomplish in the near future. We discussed what we have finished already and what we will soon be working on.
