Re: Off-season projects: What are your teams working on?
Taken directly from our summer worklist we developed.
Retrofit 2006 with belts instead of rollers
- Reliablity for demos, try a new technology which might be useful
Ginger II (I'm sure I'll get smacked for saying this, but it's already working, it's full size, it was done by our geekTeam (special projects team), and it's amazing.)
- Learn gyros and accelerometers
- Cool demo unit
Class developement (CAD and Programming)
- Try out teaching over the summer so that bigger, student run classes can be run during pre-season.
Portable Dashboard Unit
- For use in de-bug and pit monitoring
CNC Mill Retrofit
- To use as a tool to make cool parts
- To show people what a CNC Mill is
Collection of documents
- To keep the collection of important documents going to make each year easier
Team Handbook
- Update team handbook and by-laws
- Should be done each year
Crate
- Lighten the shipping crate
We've actually started on all of these. We have alot of students, and not alot of mentors, so us mentors do stuff in the summer to get the students up to speed so the more experienced students can teach the new students during the real season, and the mentors can "float" were needed. Notice each task has a goal. It's not always to make something, but to learn something.
