Hey everyone! The ausTIN CANs are back again
to tell you about what's been going on during weeks 7 and 8. These past 2 weeks have been pretty hectic because of the Waco FIT district competition coming up soon ( by the time you see this, it’s probably already passed) Everyone’s been all over the place, trying to get everything from getting Dyson ( our robots name!) to getting out impact representatives ready for their big day. Our wonderful drive team also practiced non-stop. We’re all so excited to be there and compete and simply just have fun. Let's cut to the chase though, and let's talk FRC!
First and foremost, Business! We didn’t really have much to do, but we finished what we had before the competition. Things that we had to do were the “CAN We Talk?” flier and the Reveal video for Dyson! Things that are in progress are our team video intro. Finishing up CAN-dy ( which I the writer am making myself) we can’t wait to give them to the teams and a thank you for everything! We have also been finishing up our 2nd episode of “CAN We Talk?”! Business has finished up our latest Technical document, Technical Board, and our Outreach Board. Things that will never be non-ending for the Business group are updating this blog, social media, and photography! Now, things were done with. We have finished up our Sponsorship booklet, our new logo for Dyson, and our Impact video!
CAD, on the other hand, has added lighting patterns and zip-tie holes to Intake Panels. They have resized Dysons intake to better intake against the walls. They have gotten the handles and released parts for 2nd robots and spares. They also added support for the 1st arm gearbox.
Manufacturing has finished assembly on the second robot. Organized the parts binder, about 138 parts were made. Manufacturing has cleaned and organized the mills and shop. They have also gotten all parts made on the lathe.
And lastly, Programming has finished the Arm Subsystem. Arm is now fully functional for both cubes and cones. They have also been working on Autonomous. Programming has been fixing up some issues such as rollover and the latest iteration of the Choo Choo gearbox.
In conclusion, the team’s been busy. It’s been stressful, but it’s also been fun. Seeing how things are before competitions are about to start.
Speaking of the blog We will definitely get better at frequently sending these out. Thank you to everyone who has shown their love and support to this wonderful team, we can’t wait to share more with ya’ll in the future! For now through, all you gotta do is show is your CAN Do attitude! Talk to you guys next time!
CANs OUT!
