Roboting in the garage

We continue working on the control system placement on the drive base. Everyone is happy with the design so we cut a base board and cable tied all components in and then wire up as much as we can. We are constrained somewhat by tools and wire connectors. We also discover we do not have the correct crimper for the battery so will need to visit PB’s workshop this afternoon to borrow the correct crimping tool. Unfortunately PB did not have the correct tool either but lent us a battery that is already wired up. But Eureka, one of our parents has the correct crimper.

Jellywhales scored PB in robot game at Nationals

The Elonera Jellywhales FIRST Lego League team scored a personal best in the robot game at the national competition at Macquarie Uni over the weekend of 8-9 December 2018.

Congratulations to the team and all the competitors at the event.
