Saturday Work Day

Yet again today was a rather slow day for us here at 1720. Things look really different for us from when it's our six week build season to when we are waiting for our regional competition to when we are in our complete off season over the summer. Right now we are just sitting and waiting for our regional competition to come up. We will be going to the Crossroads FIRST Robotics Chalenge regional competition at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology the first weekend in April. So it's comming up and will be here before we know it! If you want to make the drive we would love to see you at the competition! Stop by and say hey or come and cheer with us! :)

That's it for today,

Counting Down The Days!!!

So today has been a rather slow day. We have the bumpers pretty much finished now! The robot has had some updates made to it's program, and the autonomous program working now!!! Other than that only a little mechanical work has been done tonight.

Until next time (Saturday 1-5!)

Post Build Season Meeting

Tonight was mostly the night to work on all things random, yet somewhat related to this years robot. (Which is still un-named by the way!)We had people working on the bumpers. People working on programing. More people on perfecting the prototype bot. While working on all things that have to do with getting the proto-bot to work. In the machine shop work included fixing the bands, working on the scoop and dump mechanism for the frisbees, as well as fixing an extension cord.

Hey, It's Saturday!

Today was a fairly quiet day for us. We worked some more on our prototype robot, so that we can hopefully start practicing with it soon! In the computer room Andrew was working on finishing our autonomous program. Ashley and I got some of our numbers painted on to our bumpers today too. That's really about it for our work day.

Until next time (AKA Tuesday from 6-9)

*NOTICE!!! WE NEED YOUR HELP! WHAT SHOULD WE NAME OUR ROBOT??? We have two robots this year, so we will take the top two name ideas. One will be for our practice robot, the other for our actual competition robot.*
