Mechanical Team: The Mechanical team continued prototyping and design work on both the intake and climber subsystems. Intake development had advanced with the system being electrically prepared for testing, including mounting a Lexan panel to prevent motor rotation and protect wiring. The climber team analyzed a single-box climber design for a Level 1 climb using…

Carpentry This week we were checking which driver station panels align with what driver stations. Electrical This week we started and finished wiring the Tank Drive for the Everybot. Some tasks that were crucial were crimping the wires and making sure the accuracy of the wiring was on point.
Carpentry This week we cut pieces of the coral station, and in addition to that, we “assembled them” into parts. We also fully reinforced all driver stations, took apart the source from last year’s game, painted all the panels and processors, and finished building 2 out of the 4 coral stations. Electrical This week we…
