We’re in Week 5 already, wow! Our progress is evident when you compare Week 1 and Week 5. This week, programmers received our practice base. They have gotten busy, wiring the electrical works and working with the pneumatics. This happens to be quite a procedure. With so many rookies on the team this year, this was a learning process. Wiring started off slow and as students got the hang of it, the pace increased and multiple students worked on the robot at once.
Along with programming, PR is working hard on multiple pieces. One student has invested time in a poster that we plan to use for our Chairman’s presentation. It has statistics of the team, a picture of our team, a list of our sponsors, and more. We have more projects to work on, hoping to boost our community outreach and also boost our team spirit. The rest of our projects are to be finished soon.
While the programmers are hard at work on our practice base, the shop is buzzing. Our competition base is being built at a swift pace. It was powder coated at Mahle, a team sponsor. We are soon to have a driver station to match as well. Hopefully we will be finished with this base as well and can hand this off to the programmers as well.
