Got sick over the weekend. will try to put more effort to make up. Did some research on youtube over the weekend about diferent ways we build the robot. Wrote this in my notebook. We are trying to get another wowwee robot and take it apart and build our own.

Week2 Narrative
We asked our professor to order more wowwee robot so we can get started on building out robot. For the rest of the week we will try to work the remote and build a stance to keep the robot still on a flat surface. We realize we couldnt do anything yet without the robot so we are going to pull some ideas over the weekend. Teddy and I are going to idvidually build a base or create something to hold the wheel. Corey is going to work on the remote.

Thought of different ways to use the base but failed. The metal bins would be to hard.

Assign Task4
The "ballbot" came in on Monday but instead of what we need was a minibot. We took it apart and took the motor out but realize everything is useless. This week, we hope that the second ballbot will be better. For the week and the weekend we will try to finish up the project.

Today, I messed around with motor.
