Week 3 Build Update

WEEK 3


Mechanical

This week we finished our construction on our chassis and stylized our slick robot with red, black, and grey. We also built our 3-D printed prototype shooter and tested it out. The accuracy was about 25%, but it is still improving! The infamous Monkeybot from last year was dissambled and used for parts on this years robot. The mechanical team was trained on the art of welding by our skilled mentors.

Electrical

The Electric team wired all of the RoboRios and talon motors. They also started testing our pneumatic system.

Programming

The programmers have continued working on the 2 Raspberry Pis for our visioning system. The visioning system is so we can shoot balls and put gears on autonomously without having to put stress on the driver. Next, the programmers worked on the gyro so when our robot moves with our amazing two speed gearbox, it will stay focused and on path just like our team.

Week 2 Build Update

WEEK 2

This week we have worked on welding and general machine shop skills with our mentors. By the end of the week, we have completed the general frame of the robot chassis and welded all the pieces together.

Our programming team was focused and driven on completing our two speed gearbox which allows the robot to shift gears and give us extra speed and momentum. The team is using java eclipse neon, the newest technology in coding.

Build Week 1 Update!

WEEK 1

Marvelous work by all of our members this week! Our robot is taking shape!! This week we have made great progress on our new prototype shooting system.

Time to pimp out our robot! We have completed a series of epileptic LED light shows that will cause the other teams to marvel in awe at our awesome robot.
