Day One

Every member who joined the Robotic's team is a beginner. Most had an idea of or took a class on computer programming; a couple had no experience related to this project. As beginners, we went on Tronixstuff.com and started with the tutorial chapter 0. Our goal for the tutorial was to light up the LEDs that we connected to the breadboard and arduino board. We ran into a small problem; one wire was connected to the wrong slot on the breadboard. No one realized until someone came over to our area and connected the wire to the right slot instead. After the wire was connected to the right slot, the LEDs began to light up. After we finished the tutorial, we went around the STEM room and collected parts needed for the tutorials. We managed to gather a decent amount of parts; along the way, we learned about resistor code and diodes alignment from Professor Benjamin.
