BalanceBot, Behemoths, and (Net)Beans

A few things that the team has been working on, in order of progress:

1. Getting our 4th programmer computer, (dubbed "The Behemoth" by myself) set up with the old FRC software so it can be used with robots that still run with a cRIO. Done.
2. Create a self balancing, two wheeled robot. Mostly done. Still needs to be tweaked, and calibrated. It balances, and can be steered, however, it's just a tad unstable when it moves quickly, and if it starts to fall too far, it's fail-safe system acts as a spring, launching it forward, and, if it had happened with a battery in it, would have caused the battery to break open. Dangerous stuff. Project currently on Hiatus.
3. Re-resurrect Olga. Barely started, and may not be continued.
4. Personal Project, of sorts: Make a two wheeled, preferably both castors, robot that can propel, and later steer itself using one, or two small finger-like servo arms. Not yet started, as it would require either a cRio to be freed up, which isn't really an option, or a Raspberry Pi, which is also unavailable.

More updates to come as they happen!
