Week 6: Day 39

Tonight is our final day to work on our robot before it has to go into a sealed bag until competition. We finally got everything working and even did a little shooting practice in the gym across the street. We also fixed everything that didn't work at the scrimmage match, hopefully everything will still work when we get to Boilermaker...

Here are some pictures from our "Bag and Tag" night.

We would not have a working robot with out our programmers!

Week 6: Day 38

Tonight, many things we learned at the scrimmage were fixed. We adjusted the sweepers, bumpers, and shooting mechanism. We changed our driving system from tank drive to arcade drive, and added a light to our sensor so it could better see the ball when it entered the robot.

FIRST Robotics Practice Scrimmage

Instead of spending the day working on out robot we went to/co-hosted a practice game on Ball States campus. We ended up doing a little work on our robot, but the good thing about this practice game is that now we know what has to be fixed before our deadline.

Enjoy the photos!!! :)

Week 6: Day 36

Today we were finishing up work on the robot for the scrimmage match tomorrow. I was working with Jessica. We were working on attaching brackets to the robot to mount sensors on. The Team still needs to attach the bumpers and finish up some programming issues. We should be ready for the scrimmage if everything goes a planned and we don't run into any major issues.
