Today May 19 2009 Here is the second documentation.

What we want to know: What we want to know involves the robot. First, we want to learn how we can modify the robot to go outside of its normal software. Second, we want to learn about teamwork and how it works with a project of this caliber, and how as a team, we can make this better. Third, we want to have a vaster knowledge on the making, working, and operating of a robot.

Progress: We learned those skills from the process of malfunctions in the robot, be that mechanical, or physical. Then it was learning to cope and help control each other, and then that helped us learn each others strengths and weaknesses. Finally we understood the robot and how it works, then how we can make it better.

We have changed our plans: The first time we were introduced to this project, we thought it would be a great idea to make a parabolic microphone. Unfortunatly, we were thinking way to far ahead, and we started to bring in materials for that project before it was approved. So when it was denied, we had to go to plan B. So far we are very close to the finishing of the robot (which was our plan B) and soon we will be onto the second microphone to record sound, and to have the robot have camoflauge over it (in this case, a shoebox)

Below are pictures that we have from the current build. media type="youtube" key="_U-bbjxiiAU" height="344" width="425"
