The build season certainly is hurrying along, but we have been getting quite a bit done. Of course, that doesn’t stop us from feeling like we are still behind. On the robot front: We have been doing some prototyping for both our shooter and ball picker upper (for lack of a better term) mechanism. We’ve decided to go with a simple 4 wheel mecanum drive train, and we have been busy milling the wheel mounts for them. On the Awards front: Chairman’s Essay is in a finalized rough draft stage, the video is being story-boarded, and the judge’s handout is about a quarter of the way done too! Programming team was able to get their camera to track the reflective square and also able to partially drive the robot locked on the target, we are also working with a gyro to get a robot to be field oriented! We are really off to a great start! Next weekend, January 21st, we will be hosting the Arizona FTC Championships! The event is free at Coconino High School from 10:30am-5:30pm. Hope to see everyone there!
Go Nuts!
35 days until ship!
