Week 1 Tug of War

First week and our main priorities are to completely deconstruct the robots from last year and to build a completely different robot from the same robot. The frame and bearing flats are being constructed by Masen while  Garrett and Will both come up with a sufficient gear ratio as well as actually building the drive train out of mismatching collars and screws as well as an assorted pile of axles and gears. 

                                    Will dismantling the old drive train's gears and motors

while Masen crafts a 17x17 frame for the new robot.

   Sorting through our assortment of parts for valuable parts for use
 or for bargaining and making sure none are stolen.
