Weekly Update 2/16- 2/19

2/16
Today, I worked on updating my blog by adding all of the necessary images to each of my posts. My partner's part of the project has not been completed, so we cannot start a few of the things we have planned for the week. However, more improvements have been made to the servo, and such positive actions will be perpetuated, as I plan on taking the servo home every day to tweak it.

2/17
My instructors say that I am finished with my bid process, as I have already purchased all of my components.

Weekly Update 2/8- 2/12

2/8
A mostly finished product has been assembled for the servo. Today, we tested it in the systems lab. We hope to continue to experiment and improve it over the next week. This week will be all about the servo and arena setup.

2/12
This week was not dedicated to the servo unfortunately. The weather kept us from school Wednesday and Thursday. Also, on friday, most people were absent because of the school closings in Middletown. This is a setback, but I believe we will be fine with a recovery effort.

Between today and tomorrow, I must complete a detailed schedule to accompany my conquest to complete the Technology DARE. Hopefully, this system will help me to make due dates on time.

2/5
All of the necessary components have been purchased and assembled. All of the pieces fit together properly, and photographic documentation supports it. Today, I will be meeting with my mentor about my servo.
