PM-Lupe-1hr30min-Robot Club: Improvements

Today is the first day we started working on our robot since the Regional competition. We have several ideas on how to make our robot better. For today we want to focus on fixing the base. We want to rearrange things so that we have a better balance, and not tip over like it did in the competition. We want to find a better place for our batteries so that it isn't just mounted to the back. Also, we want to try to get rid of the second battery, but if we can't then we just want a better place to put it in. We have to take down the arm and technically start from scratch so that we can have a clear canvas. We are only going to work on the base today, tomorrow, and Monday so that we are not hung over it. The end date is not set in stone of course, but just a date to push us to finish it quick. I spent my time doing research on how to fix our tracks and how to make an extendable arm. I could not find anything for the arm so I will ask my boyfriend who is a part of the robotics team at our home school and ask our instructor. Anthony was doing all the hardware things. It's looking good for us right now. (I also researched track patterns).
