This is the WPI RBE 3001 Board included with a Lab Kit. This board has an Atmel Embedded Processor that we will be programming in Eclipse with AVR Plugin. We'll also be using Subversion for collaboration and revision control.

This is showing the Robot Arm wielding a new end effector temporarily to mount various Vex Robotic Metal Components.

Robot Arm with Custom End Effector

At this phase of the lab, we were attempting to draw simple geometry with the robotic arm - such as triangles.

Drawing Geometry with the Robot Arm

We introduced the sand-paper belt driven by the Vex Motor. This will carry objects with different mass down the conveyor to the robotic arm to manipulate.

Here the Infrared Parallax Sensor is introduced, which will determine speed and position of the block.
