Robot Finished and ready for Practice

 As you know, we all have been working very hard these past five weeks to complete the robot. The robot is complete and is ready for practice. With the help of our mentor Adrian, and his programming ability, we are ready to practice and make any necessary changes. Although we have a week left to practice, we will try our best drop the balls into the trailer. Our design will be to dump seven balls into the opposing teams' trailers and to take the empty cells from the Payload specialist to the corner to exchange for the super cell. Driving will be very difficult this year because there will be a minimal amount of friction due to the game floor surface and the plastic wheels. Expertise in Driving will be required. We will be looking for a shooter too (until the competition) to throw the rest of the thirteen balls in the opposing teams’ trailers. Hope to see you at the practice.

The robotics competition is now over and we would like to thank everyone who came to Jacob Javitis Center and supported us. Also, we now have the display of the robot and our trophies in the first floor. We won best website award and we are very happy of that and proud of ourselves. Overall the competition was fun and exciting even though we didnt get to do the chicken dance.

Driving Boot Camp Started!!

After much programming from Kevin Chan and some instructions from Jefferson Abreu we got the programming and calibrated controller working like never before. This thing could move and fly across the makeshift arena. On this day our robot had another little “mishap” during test driving and practice the bolts on the wheel took some good banging and fell off and to top it all off, one of the prongs on the fork broke off after a head-on collision with a rubber mat at .05 mph. We fixed it and then called it a day.
