Welcome back to the ausTIN CANs blog!
Today I’ll be covering our team’s progress throughout week 6 and 7.
First is Business. Business has started work on the Chairman’s video, which will act as a video to persuade the judges to endow our team with the Chairman’s award, the most prestigious award a team can get. The group now must edit the video to get it ready to submit. We also started work on the robot reveal video, to announce our robot and the mechanics in the most flashy way possible. We also designed our buttons for this season to hand out at competition.
Next, Manufacturing. Manufacturing has completely assembled bot 1, and is ready for competition. We’re also starting work on testing, especially our climber. Once everything is tested and assembled, we will be completely ready for our first competition during spring break.
In the meantime, CAD has been doing design review on a variable hood, whilst also helping with assembly for Manufacturing. In their designs, CAD has been able to review their designs and has made numerous improvements to the design of our robot.
Finally, Programming has worked on the CDS to make it run automatically. They’ve also made command groups for autonomous mode, in order to better organize their code. They’ve also created a shooter lookup table, able to inform the team of the ranges and rpms of the shooter.
That’s it for these rather uneventful two weeks! See you next time on…
the ausTIN CANs!!!
