Progress: Robots Edition

Throughout this year in engineering class, we've gone through various projects, in which we constructed many things for different purposes, fulfilling a different objective each time. At the moment, we're currently working on a robot, which will be able to travel a certain distance, roll a ball to knock over pins, and travel another specific distance to go around the pins to knock them over. We'll earn a certain amount of points for each and in the end the winner would be the individual who obtained the most points. My group is progressing relatively well. However, we're going at a moderate pace to ensure that it'll work well. We've currently built the model out of cardboard and it is able to move using four CD's as wheels. It's well stabilized and we've been able to program it using a program called "Scratch." We've programmed it to move forward and turn. If we pick up our pace I'm sure we'll be able to complete our robot within the same time that everyone else does.
