We fixed our Auto and started making more complex commands. We are also working on tuning our auto PID to make sure the robot runs how we want. We also got the shooter to run smoothly and scored in the speaker. We are implementing sensors on the shooter to detect the note. We have also […]

WEEK 4: 02/02/24 We started the week by fixing batteries. There was an issue earlier in the week where the batteries we were using for a testing drive caused the robot to shut down. Through inspection, we realized that this was because of loose connections. After fixing that battery, we checked the status and connections

WEEK 4: 02/02/24 This weekend we finished up assembling the shooter and the intake. Initially, we made the intake out of MDF material. One of the mechanical team mentors, Mr. Eggert spent the night cutting the material using laser technology. WEEK 4: 02/04/24 Our intake is ready! We had spent the weekend melting

WEEK 2: 01/19/24 We tested photoelectric sensors to see which sensors are the most effective for the intake and the shooter of the robot. WEEK 2: 01/20/24 We started planning and wiring the electrical board. We reused wire from other robots, so they are not all the perfect length. In the future, we will cut

WEEK 2: 01/13/24 Next, we wanted to have ready practice equipment for our prototype. One of our mentors, Axel Rodriguez, guided a few students in building these structures following FIRST directions. Working together, we quickly built a speaker and amp in just a few hours. WEEK 2: 01/14/24 We built our first prototype! Using MDF,
