Yeah, we're thinking bout that...
But we dont really need it, we've built 3 fantastic bots from what we've had so far, and we currently have the tools to build my Multi-Drive system (oops, did I mention that?) that I already have designed.... If we end up using it this year, we'll have our robot done in no time. We won't even have to worry about half our robot! all we'd need is a design for subsystems, which heavily relies on the game. Anyway, we're looking into it a bit... we mainly need money. Were trying to go to at least 2 regionals, and I think we've got about $3500 left in our cookie jar We've also got 20 nice and Shiny business packets for our team. Each features a 4 page foldout of our Chairmans from 2003, a mini-VCD featuring info on FIRST and our team, some FIRST documents, some more papers, and finally the sign-up form. We already know of 3 businesses we're pursuing, and waiting to hear from. One of which is DuPont, but we've tried them 2 years already with no luck... |
We have been limited in our machining capabilites from our rookie year of 1999. Up until the 2003 season we had done all the machining in the shop of our then main sponsor, Quest Technologies. They had a CNC mill and lathe, nothing else really spectacular. Last year was the first year we machined at our school, after Quest backed down a little bit, and boy was it a difference, our shop at OHS has antiquated machines that barely worked. We sent out for difficult things but made the rest, time and time again after parts broke or were wrong. The 2004 season will be totally different though, as we welcome a new sponsor to Team #269, Ace Precision Machining, they rule, have every type of machine available, and will let our students in their shop to learn and help us out, our capability this year will be over 100000000% better than ever.
