Today, we worked with the Arduino shield wireless SD. Since we're missing a piece for the shield, we have decided to work with an SD card that we borrowed. We had to format the micro SD as it needed to be in fat32 format to work with the Arduino. Thankfully gparted on linux makes that an easy process. After getting that working and figuring out we had a loose usb cable we got the a basic program working. We're getting the correct wireless adapter to work with our shield, an xbee model made by Digikey which should get us going without cables.

We also got a little demo of what the balloon project folks are working on in preparation for their upcoming launch. Particularly their tracking system composed of two SPOT GPS devices and a GPS transmitter working on the APRS frequency 144.39 MHz. The SPOT's can be tracked via web while the APRS transmitter can be located by ground stations located around the country as well as a receiver in a chase car. A lot of neat things happening on the left side of the table that we can learn much from.

Winter Internship 2019

Winter Internship 2019 January 02, 2019 In January 2,   since I already have a robot to work on, this internship I am planning to use this opportunity to maintain the robot by comparing the speeds and the load in the robot to make it more stable. January 07, 2019 During the summer internship, I had to make several changes to the robot and it was really hard to switch the idea between one technique and another. So this time I decided to learn 3D designing and build the 3D design of the robot. It will help me to manipulate the robot by using different function. January 08, 2019 On Wednesday, I spent the whole day learning 3D designing. January 10, 2019

Bergen Community College Robotics Spring Internship 2017 Initially, the old robotics team would like to welcome some of the new members into the team. OLD TEAM NEW TEAM (Members of the old team are only missing from the picture, not the team) Oh and we missed tyler, so here he is...... New Members: Deepa Banjara Alexandra Cortez Tyler Laursen-Carr The BCC STEM Robotics Team is developing a ball launching robot using Autodesk Inventor for design purposes and Robot C for programming purposes. The team has developed 4 major concerns about the design for the robot. First, the robot must gather the balls that are laying on the ground. Second, the robot must feed these balls to an elevator. Third, the elevator must elevate the ball to the launcher. Fourth, the launcher must be able to have varying angles in which it can launch the balls. To account for all of these factors, the designing team had to draw some sketches and ideas on the board for ...
