Look for our big blog post tomorrow night after we get our sheetmetal back.We have been preparing all our parts to assemble the robots once we get our parts back tomorrow.We have been printing parts including a nice camera mount.Also preparing our sh [Read More]
We are still working on getting our parts ready for the sheet metal delivery.We have our gears and wheel modules ready to be bolted up to the sheet metal when it arrives.We also have powder coated Versaplanties for the competition robot ready to go a [Read More]
Now that sheet metal has been sent out, it's finally time for us to buckle down and figure out some of the smaller parts on our robot. Among these smaller parts is the plate we plan on using to cut off individual lanes in our three-wide shooter. [Read More]
With the main sheet metal order sent off to our sponsors we now have to prepare all the rest of our parts.We began making some new shooter rollers using white silicone instead of black latex.We also have been organizing all our subsystems and doing i [Read More]
2017 Spectrum CAD Model - "Gamma Ray"Our main sheet metal order for our robot has been sent over to our wonderful sponsor Solarcraft Inc. So that means are robot CAD is nearly complete. It's still missing a few details but largely the [Read More]
This week, we’re featuring Adrienne Emerson, an important mentor to many students and the community. Her love for engineering began in high school when she joined her school’s robotics team. She has been hooked ever since and continues to inspires he [Read More]
Here is are nearly finished drive train and bumpers CAD.There are still some big issues with the robot to be worked out but we are also working through some small details as we move towards final CAD to be sent to our Laser cutting sponsor.Little Thi [Read More]
Our programming team has started getting our autonomous running on our 2014 practice robot. We are using a very similar drive train to that year so it makes it simple to test code on it.We did a lot of research into alternative gear intakes over the [Read More]
