Today, students worked on the drive frame for the robot. Students also continued to work to create CAD designs of and mill various parts needed for the intake and shooter. Elm City Robo Squad also continued to build field components for both our practice field and assist in creating field components for our friends the Cyber Knights!

To wrap up the fourth week of build season, Elm City Robo Squad finished assembling the drive frame for our robot, attaching the belly pan and wheels. We continued to assemble our intake and worked on improving our hanger prototype. Students worked some more in CAD, were trained further on the mill, and worked in JavaScript. As shown in the image, students began working on a prototype hanger using measuring-tape, plastic cups, and wood blocks (it is just a prototype after all!) Students were also able to create pieces for and assemble the drive frame for the practice robot and work with code in Java that were able to control the motors at the push of a button. Committees were assembled to brainstorms ideas for scouting and our Chairman's video!
Today, students worked on putting final touches on their Chairman's Award Essay drafts. We also were able to work on building pieces for more field components! Students who work with LabVIEW and Java Script worked together to help program our flywheel shooter prototype! We were also able to start assembly on the drive frame. Students worked on milling, drilling, sanding, and finishing pieces for the intake of the machine. We'd like to use this time to thank our sponsor, Best Buy, for their generosity in donating us the tools and machinery required to create the parts we need! Today, students continued working on field elements for Team 195's practice field while continuing to work on field components for our own. We started to cut the DWGS Gusset motor brackets, finished building the intake DWGS front roller, and even were able to complete more than 12 Gussets! Students were also taught how to work with LabView programming, and our veterans continued to teach members to use machines and tools they were unfamiliar with. Thank you to our sponsor National Instruments for providing LabView to FRC teams! |
