As the season winds down to the end the intensity rises and makes it fun, challenging,and stressful all adding to the wonderful experience of First. Tonight we started wiring the robot and hooking up pneumatics, it is pretty cool to see the robot coming together. We also had potential drive team members take the drive team test, it was comprised of strategies, penalties and more. The team is also trying to decide on a name for our robot and have had some rather interesting names come up. Hopefully we will be able to come to a conclusion before long.Tonight felt rather successful and leaving us looking forward to tomorrows wonderful challenges to make ourselves learn and grow to become better at the jobs we do!!

Going back to work on the prototype-bot. A lot of the faulty programming has been corrected and the new digital side-car is working fine at the moment. Programing and testing is now underway on the robot's turret. As of now preparation for reattaching the CRIO on the actual is going on tonight too.
We had a small group today as most of our team members were working on our still unnamed robot until 5am. We did get a little more work done though. The ball lifter has a sleek looking plastic cover over it. Most of the wiring on the prototype is finished, but still need to get the programing to work. That was about it for this afternoon.
