Week Five's Update is here!
We think Week Five is one of the most exciting weeks in the build season, since it's the week where teams kick on the afterburners and start integrating shooting, gear, and climbing systems onto the chassis.
You can see this reflected in the progress of Blount County Robotics and the Secret City Wildbots in our coverage of Week Five of the 2017 build season!

BCR is in the process of installing the shooter, which was first tested last Friday, and they're moving on to perfecting their basic climber design. Their programming team will be busy this next week perfecting the vision of the robot and wrapping up all other coding!
The Wildbots seem to have a fairly finalized robot, with some troubleshooting and perfecting required, most noticeably with the shooter feeding system. All in all, though, the team appears to be set up for yet another really successful season. Thanks Wilbots for sending in footage this week, and we can't wait to see the final product at competition!
If SMR Vault could have one wish this year, it'd be that the whole East TN robotics community contributes to Week Six's update! It'll be the last one before competition, so if you'd like your team to be featured, follow the steps below!
