Our First Custom Robot

From Our first cus...


This is our first custom Robot. No plans, just an idea to make a robot to play catch with and a few months of consistent work and fun.

Now that the body is basically done, Emma and I will begin programming it to play catch.

To get ready for the programming stage Emma, Ian and I have been playing a lot of c-jump.

We'll let you know when it is functioning.
