Re: Pre season prep suggestions?

On 610, we've spent the last few weeks hosting workshops for prospective students once a week, ensuring that students know what they're getting into, and they get a taste of what they'll be doing during build season.

In total, we had 6 workshops, which represented Design&Manufacturing, Energy Systems, Programming, Business&Administration, Marketing&Public Relations, and Strategy/Scouting.

I believe the D&M team had their members do some simple CAD exercises, the Energy Systems members learned a few things about wiring and pneumatics, the Programmers installed IDE's and introduced students to Java, and in Strategy, we did a breakdown of Aerial Assist. Our Business&Administration divisions did a small project on planning the logistics for our upcoming trip to China, such as how to ship the robot.

Over the summer, we had two separate groups design drivetrains, and I believe we're currently about to begin fabrication for their designs.

If you'd like more detail, feel free to message me and I can reply or redirect your question to someone more experienced.

sorry about the repost, I submitted the rough copy by accident.
