On Tuesday, we attached wire lugs to our motors, took apart parts of our 2020 climber, worked on programming, added support to our drive train, and used the CNC to cut our first part - the hook.
Week 1During week 1, we went over the rules, strategies, and what we wanted to prioritize for this season. We also started working on a prototype for our intake. Week 2The students worked hard as they took their midterms. So much progress has been made this week. We started CAD modeling, brainstormed fundraisers, started and developed new prototypes, and did more RoboReviews. RoboReviews is part of our hunt to find the best place that serves pizza in New Haven. Each time we order pizza, it's from a different place in New Haven and we evaluate it to figure out which place in New Haven serves the best pizza.
This past weekend we attended our first competition for the 2020 season! Despite the numerous challenges we still dominated at competition and gave it our all. Check out these pics from Saturday and Sunday! Our official 2020 robot! We still haven't come up with a name, any ideas? We had lots of fun! This year we have a completely new drive team with three of our sophomores! After finishing our climber the day before, our favorite part was watching our robot rise to save FIRST City!
So, It's been a while.... But we're back! So much happened since the last blog post... Here's a recap! We had a really successful 2019 season; we received the Engineering Inspiration award in the Hartford Competition, we won our first ever District Championship competition, and we qualified and competed at the World Championships!! To wrap up 2019, We introduced many new members onto our team, we engaged with our community through outreach, we came together, celebrating on our holiday party, and last but not least..... We prepared for the upcoming 2020 season!!! We are ready to conquer this season.
We started to build our 2019 robot for competitions. After assembling the gearboxes, we mounted them onto the chassis and put on the wheels.
On Saturday, we welcomed FRC 7869 "The Fun Gang" into our shop and helped them build their robot. We demonstrated our robot at the New Haven Public School's Expo. Here we taught kids about FIRST and let them drive our robot.
