Half Way Home!!! By the end of this class we will have completed half of this course. Therefore today was our last class with Corey as our instructor, even though we just met him! The first half of the class was dedicated to completing a CEQ for the course and Corey, follwed by test # 2, which much like the first I left feeling pretty confident which is always a good thing. Once the test was finished we moved on to some housekeeping in a sense that there were a few activities that Corey wanted us to have completed before the end of the class, therefore we focused on these instead of following the regularly scheduled activities. These involved using the rotating base and servo motor controller in order to use the robot gripper arm, as well as the webcam. After getting everything constructed, we managed to get everything working, except for the final task which was to control these components using the mini joystick as an input device. We got a short start but ran out of time so I guess we will have to figure it out next week, so that it can hopefully be integrated into our final project. And that brings us to the half way mark, looking forward to next week when we will meet our new, and final instructor of the tech program! Until then......
