Finally, we're able to test on the practice field! This week was a bit of a slow one for several reasons, one of which being Teacher's Convention. So we used the days that we couldn't build to take the robot out for a spin. It's good that we started on the practice field when we did, as we've already begun to notice slight things that need a bit more refining, and have recognized difficulty firing with the current heavy shooter. Fortunately, that problem is one we noticed weeks back, so we may have the new one on as soon as Monday. This week, we finally got to test our pneumatic wheels, and are glad to report that they are working well! We have also mounted our bumpers. All teams out there, get to a practice field ASAP! We've learned a lot just from the last two days, and are excited to reveal the finished product one week from now!
