The topic for today's class was traction. The students were introduced to the concepts and mathematics involved in determining friction in consideration of weight. The students were having some trouble building the robot, so I build a piece of the "Protobot" to give them an idea of how to effectively use the provided tools. Hopefully they finish the robot by the end of next week so that we can start running time trials.

Today, we quickly went over different types of gears and how they work (ie idler vs sprocket and torque vs speed). I then gave the students the remaining time to work on the protobot.
