End of the Week: Competition Partial Success

This week were completed most of our goals and the competition started yesterday.  We were able to install everything we wanted on the robot except for the brain because we had no working battery for it.  So unfortunately we partially competed in the competition with the robot.  Since it wasn't able to move we had to place it on the mat even though it should be moving onto the mat by it self and also we couldn't move the flag to our side to start the countdown for victory.  Although, the device on the robot that is supposed to prevent it from being moved over to the other side kept the other team from ever pulling our bot anywhere as if it were an immovable object which was a psychological victory for us.  Two Wednesdays from now (9/17) we will compete again and should definitely have a working battery.  So for the time being we are just rebuilding and reorganizing the robot.

Rewiring for Better Organization
