Welcome to the Priory Engineers - Battlebot project!

This is an ever-evolving project, so bear with us as we progress through this quarter.

The premise of this assignment is to create a battlebot - similar to those found online. Students are given practically no restrictions as to what the robot will look like - THIS IS MEANT TO BE A THEORETICAL PROJECT...

Project guidelines:
 * Students will commit to ONE "method of destruction" - grenades, flame throwers, radial saw blades, sledge hammers, etc. Students will research the "method of destruction" - what components are needed to make this "method of destruction" work? How will this play into the offense strategy?
 * Students should consider how the "method of destruction" will interfere with the robots mobility (i.e., if using a radial saw blade, where to mount the blade so that it doesn't interfere with making the robot move around the playing field?).
 * Remotes for this project will have 6 channels - like the VEX controllers - meaning it can control 6 things (i.e., motors) at once. Students *can* opt to use 2 remotes tethered, for a total of 12 motors on one bot.
 * Motors can either have full-range of motion, or servo - only 90 degrees of motion.
 * Students will write psuedocode for each of the motors

Tentative project deadlines:
 * April 8 - research on "method of destruction" done.
 * April 15 - prototype built.
 * April 27 - pseudocode completed.
 * May 18 - digital design in Google Sketchup completed
 * May 20 - present battlebot

Each student will use a different page within this wiki to document progress on this project.
