2791 3 Week Video

[Hawiian Cadder]

wow, how did you keep it true, whenever we weld anything it ends up slightly off square.

[Chris is me]

Simple - we didn't weld it in-shop

We sent it off to have someone else weld it who knew what they were doing, since nobody on Shaker Robotics had ever worked with any kind of welded anything before. A lot of us were really nervous since we weren't sure if what we were doing would hold - but it looks like it turned out alright!

3 Weeks, 12 meetings.

Does your team meet only 4 days a week? For how long!?

We meet 5 days a week, but have had 3 snow days.

For the first two weeks, we met for no longer than 2 hours a meeting. So the first 7 meetings had only 14 hours of work time.

This week, we've had "come when you can" meetings from 11 AM to 5 PM due to Shaker's finals schedule. An additional 30 hours, but with a lot fewer people and more spread out.

The robot you see above is only 45 hours of build time. We're hoping to be proof that you can do a competitive build season in under 100 hours.

And with very few secrets. I would like to thank Team 2791 (and Chris specifically) for their assistance so far this season. Pity our bots will probably never be on the same field with or against each other.

This is very very impressive. Congrats on being the kings of time management.

I look forward to seeing this robot in full form.

... maybe in person?

Looking good.

I love the use of Vex motors with Tetrix wheels.

Funny you should say this. We are looking at adding a late regional to our schedule. And Canada is on the list.

Everything looks very sharp. Well done. I hope we can work at this level someday.

Is the vertical electronics housing permanent, or for convenience during build?

[yodameister]

The vertical electronics is actually a removable board, designed to be taken out with just a few turns of a screw. But as you see it is basically where it will be located on the bot.
