Hello Readers! I hope to keep you updated as we continue moving forward.
Today we had a lot of people and projects going on in our build area. I got to say that we are heading off with a great start for this year. We have lots of members ready to work and here is what we did! :D
Mechanical people worked on a prototype for the shooting mechanism. After the design for going in a circular motion around a wheel mostly failed, we moved onto a straight edged shooter. We had better results than before with the circular design. There are still a fair amount of bugs we need to work out, but I sincerely believe we are heading in the right direction. We also had some Mechanical group members start brainstorming designs for a mechanism to climb the pyramid and one to pick up fallen discs.
Electrical people mostly focused on taking apart some of last years robot. I believe they did this to get the electronics board from last year, which was built thoroughly into the chassis. They also worked with the Software group to start preparing the field elements for this years game. Namely, they began to cut the pipes we shall be using to make our steel pyramid.
I have some pictures that I will compile from the past few days. Keep an eye out for when I post them XD
Sincerely,
Hailey Sanidad
