What was your objective? The objective was to design an endofector for our robot.

How did you accomplish that objective? First we did test trials to make sure that we had accomplished our objective and we found that our endofector did end up working. We never changed our design idea. Once we started building it we had to find where the motors were going to go and how to operate them but once we did everything worked out fine.

Write a narrative of your robots performance in the bottle challenge? It drove up and picked up the first bottle with ease, but when we went to set it down, the trim wasnt set right and the bottle was knocked over. We picked up the second bottle and took it to its destination and set it down with no problem. Then the vexbot returned to the spot marked with the X. During the test run the vexbot did the task with no problem

What problems did you encounter? How would you redesign your robot if you were given more time? When we designed our robots endofector it ended up being too heavy in the front. We had to add a back piece on it to balance it out. We took two extra metal pieces and used zip ties to keep it on. Also since the endofector was directly attached to the motor it was very "touchy." If we had used more gears it would have made it easier to control.
