Programmers worked hard today trying to get the robot to move, by the end of day it was spinning in circles.
Saturday
Complications with the robot today, but we were able to figure out what the problem was, and fix it, it was the wiring. It took a lot of effort, but we were finally able to get the robot to move again. It was amazing to see how we were all able to come together and work to get the job done.
Worked in the school shop with no power (for safety reasons).
