DA has purchased new safety glasses which he keeps in the CAD land. We dawn the glasses before we enter the Systems Lab. This week, we have been working on our propellers. At the start of the week, we searched on the internet for different types of propellers and their corresponding prices. These websites included amazon, ebay, and various RC websites. Tuesday, we set up a place for the propellers on the aft end of the VEX robot. We had to move an existing plate foreward in order to create a place for the battery pack which be attatched via zip tie. Wednesday, we set up the chain and sproket kit that will spin the propellers. The smaller gear will be attatched to the propeller and the larger gear attatched to the drive shaft connected to the motor.
