With less than 4 days to go, our competition robot is well on the way to completion - with sub-teams cooperating more than ever to get things worked out and assembled. Most members have stayed late at ORyon Labs (pictured above) every night for the past week. With "Bag Day" approaching, decorations are pouring in - painting continues and pictured below is our 2015 FRC Sponsors plate, to be mounted on the sides of our competition robot very soon. Stay tuned for the reveal on this blog, elsewhere on our website, and our YouTube channel. A special shout-out to our mentors who have spent countless evenings and weekends guiding and aiding us in every possible way. |
The Media division, while simultaneously writing this blog, designed a Sponsors Side plate to be mounted very soon on our Robot v2 (final competition design). Additionally, CAD team focused on providing dimensions to mechanical and electrical sub-teams as they installed gussets, brackets, and undercarriage / power distribution board to the framework of said robot.
Electrical
As previously mentioned, Electrical sub-team mounted their power distribution board to a clear, plastic base to form the undercarriage of our competition drive train. Unfortunately, due to the lack of transistors, they were unable to complete their secondary task of preparing a circuit for our RGB LEDs robot decor.
Mechanical
Programming
 |
| Programming worked on the automated stacking system (using limit switches...) and improved the joystick layout based on driver input during driving practice. They also completed coding Cheesy Arcade mode on our robot. They have been cooperating with drivers training on Betelgeuse and Robot v1 to get the code ready for our competition robot, which is technically similar. |
