It’s been one of our most productive weekends so far, with actual framing for our elevator coming together, the hatch intake redesign being tested, and our drivetrain being wired up and driven in the hallway! Things are definitely coming together! Over the next few days, we’ll be rigging up the elevator, and testing out the manipulator prototypes properly.
2019 Build - Days 8 - 20: More Prototyping
This season, we’ve been dedicating a lot more time to prototyping and CAD-ing different mechanisms, and making said prototypes out of wood/PVC pipe. This has given us a tremendous improvement in figuring out critical dimensions, and a way to visualize how stuff fits together. We’ve spent the last 2 weeks refining different methods for grabbing and controlling the game pieces, and are pretty close to having a final design done!
2019 Build - Day 7: CNC All the Things!
2019 Build - Days 4 and 5: In which some prototypes are made
2019 Build - Day 3 and 4: In which a great deal of wood dust is generated
2019 Build - Day 2: The Field! It must be built!
The 2019 FRC Season is Here!
The team attended kickoff at Long Island University in Brooklyn, a quick 10 minute walk from the school. Once kickoff was over, the brainstorming began. This year’s game seems really simple on the surface, but could be open to some incredibly strategic plays. We’ll see what our collective brains can come up with!
Off Season Learning with Friends!
We were incredibly lucky this past weekend to have Mike and Nelly (354 Alumni) and some of our friends from Team 333 - The Megalodons over at our shop to teach some of our newer members building and manufacturing skills.
