Well, 279 is about where it always is. We get the drivetrain portion of the robot done quicker than the rest and then add the game objective portion to it.
The drivetrain is coming along, I haven’t taken a look at it in a while but by the sounds of it, we should have a moving machine by tomorrow
.
The Game Objective portion of the bot is halfway through the design process. The ball shooter is all designed finally! We are making parts for it tomorrow so expect another teaser. Also the ball collecting portion of the bot is coming along. We should have a final design after tomorrow’s meeting. We had some issues with how fast we wanted things to run, and then we decided that if we moved a ball 48 inches in 1sec that it would be too fast and unnecessary. But we seem to be ahead of where we usually are. Progress is progress

Electronics/Programming
Have no idea how far they are. They decided to use last year’s code for the cam and it works better I guess. But they don’t have a list of sensors of controls yet so I don’t think there is much they can do
.
CAD
Umm I didn’t know we had cad….
Scouting/Spirit
Saving that for the two weeks between build and regionals.
I think that’s it. I truly feel that we are ahead of schedule for once! Besides, who needs driver practice anyways?
