We are now on our third week of regular meetings and are starting to develop our prototype! After hours of brainstorming, potential designs are now being created and tested. Now that we have most of our materials we are eager to lock in a final design and begin work on the final product.

We're all set to have a great 2020 season!

The 2019 season is well under way! 

          This season's challenges have been well received by our team and the build has commenced. While this year poses some difficult obstacles, we are confident in our ability to overcome this year's game with the mechanisms we have planned. 

          Our mecanum drive has been installed and sub teams are currently working on the mechanisms to both capture and lift hatches as quickly and efficently as possible. 

We wrapped up this year's stress with more stress.  We did our best in competition, but on the second day of matches something happened.  In our first round of the day and accident lead to us losing our arm on Comrade.   The team worked hard to find a way to fix it, but there wasn't one.  We wrapped up our matches as a moving box.

Our team still had fun competing and watching other teams perform.  The finals kept us on the edges of our seats.

We look forward to next year and its possibilities.

 We had a very tight schedule for our last two days of build.  We were hit with an ice storm and had to pack up shop at 7 p.m. and were unable to come in on the final build day.   Our team underwent a ton of stress.  Our core members in build, programming, and electronics, worked their hardest to take apart our grabber and re-do it. We were unable to finish completely.   We redid bumpers and are still excited for regionals.

 The scrimmage has come and gone.  It was fun seeing what other teams came up with and their strategies.  We learned a lot about our robot this Sunday.  There were some small mistakes that were easy to fix, and some large ones that caused us to pack it up early and come back home to do repairs.
