With only two days left, our robot was complete and our programming was set. We had everything done and we just needed to get an official run that worked completely. We set up our robot a few times and learned that it needed to be a finger width from the edge of the table in order to get the most accurate results. After testing our robot more than five times and having success each time, we decided to do an official run that had bad turns and failed to deposit the ball once again. We decided that our battery not being at 100% was changing some of the programming so we took our battery out and let it charge for 15 minutes. Or so we thought. We realized it wasn't charging due to a broken outlet, but we switched outlets and managed to get a good charge. Once the battery was back at 100%, we did three more trial runs and was successful each run, so we tried an official run, and once again we could not deposit the ball. After talking, we learned that our weight was unbalanced, and since we were front heavy, this could cause non repeatable results. We have one more official trial run to go, and we still believe that our robot will work and we can get our full points.
