Hey all!
Allen and Hailey here, bringing you all an update on the last two meetings! Our team met last Sunday and this Wednesday night to continue prepping Oddjob 2.0 for Calgames. There’s so much to tell you all!
First off, we had students CAD away. Some worked on creating the electronics board using Solid Works and our Mechanical VP created a hook to use for our new piston operated climbing system. Evil Mad Scientist’s were able to create these hooks for us and are beautifully displayed in one of the pictures below.
Our software group are teaching the rookies how to program with the arduino platform, which uses C++ like a language. It’s always good having new members showing an interest in something we do and having older students helping to teach what they know.
Mechanical members mainly focused on modifications of Oddjob 2.0 and the fabrication of a new table stand to place the robot on. For Oddjob, the battery , mounting was thoroughly debated and our new frisbee shielding shortened to allow for safe passage beneath the 30in bar of the pyramid.
To those of you interested in watching Cal Games, there is more information regarding it on our team website: http://fremontrobotics.com/
Well thats all the updates! This has been Hailey and Allen, signing off.
