The last class for Electronics 10
We started with how to buy electronics parts online or in local store
we can get the list on professor mason's web site
we might need it in the future when we are doing more complicated electrnoics class
later, we did the presentation on our robot baby scropion
and it went pretty well
The last thing we need to do for the class was to organize all the stuff we have and reture it
We spent lots of time to break down the robot and put all the parts into the vex kit
and we just waited to be evaluate
That was all for electrnoics 10 class
hope everyone enjoys the class
and thanks to Professor mason for teaching us very valuable knowledge that we can use it in the future life

Day 16 & 17 - Competition Day
Day 16- Friday
Professor Mason gave one extra day to work on the project
We programmed more stuff in our robot
and we also make some change of the design of the robot
Day 17- Competition Day
We met at Cal State Fullerton fort the competition
We tried to make everything perfect and thought about lots of new ideas
But at the end
We change the program to the original, which is really simple
and the result was very surpised
that we got the right color and the position of the can was just fine
and the can got stock into the car and the car drove to the correct place

Day 15- Finishing the final project
Last day for the project
We were suppose to test our robot today
But there are so many problems to be solved in our robot
We used most of the time to figure out the programming in our robot
Since we were so focus on the robot, me and my partner Jose forgot to take pictures
Our squarebot and search for the can, go towards to the can, and grab the can
but everything we test it, the robot rejects the right color of the can
and we used the entire four hours to do
But the good news is
Professor Mason gave us another day (Friday) to work on the robot
Hopefully we can finish the robot on time

Day 14-Vex Bot Project- Programming
Today's agenda was to write the program of the bot
we got the line sensor works, but at the end of the class
for some reason the car keep stopping at the same point, which mean the program ended
but for one time it work pretty good
and it actaully searched for the can and stop infront of the can
but it is unfortunate that we did not record the video
We hope we are able to finish everything on the testing day
good luck to us

Day 13- Vex Bot Project -Bulding Bot
This week is a critical week since we only have this week to finishing building and programming the robot
Today's schedual is to finishing building the robot
it took us to figur out how to put everything together such as the color sensor and the claw
We put a motor on the bottom inorder to turn the color sensor point to the ground or to the can
We also try to make some change to the claw so it is lighter and mor stable
The sensor and the motor all work as we tried
Now we just need to program the car to move, detect the color of the can, grab the can, and carry the can to the correct zone

Day 12 -Project Planning
Today, we were introduced a new mothoed of how to improve the efficiency of doing a project
After finishing the Gantt Chart
we started to do the work
first, I tried to figure out how the sonar sensor works
And we tried to make a claw to crab the cans
but we were not able to finish taht
so, we will finish it on Tuesday
