We have been posting weekly videos and picture galleries. We also have a section of our website dedicated to the CAD design of the robot.

Re: JVN Challenge: Record your Season!

I'm writing so much for grad school I got sick of writing for our season. Some of the students are writing blogs, but they're not very process-oriented and are sporadic (located here). So I fail this year . Maybe next year I'll do the writing. I do enjoy reading though!

John, I have a minor itch about your blog. Maybe next year we can get you to say "magnetic flux wielding manipulator 1" (or something else that's vague but easy to remember) instead of "Subsystem X". As a reader, it's distracting to read "Subsystem 0" and it even seems like the guest bloggers mock the naming convention when they call something "subsystem pi". It'd also help me remember if you're reiterating over the same design or creating a new design for the same system as the season progresses. Keep top secret stuff secret, but for 'arm' and 'leg' and 'drive train' it would be nice. I do enjoy reading about the 148 process: it's both humbling and inspiring at the same time.

The numbers on the blog correspond to the P/N conventions we use for CAD files. It was an easy way for me to remember them. Next year I'll think about simple nicknames instead... without revealing too much.

Re: JVN Challenge: Record your Season!

With a new group of students interested in working on our website this year, we were able to bring back our daily progress updates. While we had to remind them each meeting at first, they've been pretty good lately at keeping this page updated on their own accord.

Or consider just telling us what it is your building. I don't think you have to worry about us being able to build a better one!

Re: JVN Challenge: Record your Season!

So, yeah, I decided to use my class blog for this project: www.coalhot.wordpress.com

Just ignore any class stuff that may come up.

Added bonus: I posted (and will post) some FTC stuff up there...

Re: JVN Challenge: Record your Season!

In response to JVN's challenge/request I recorded Team 33's day by day progress through the 2011 season in daily journal, posted here.

Thanks John for encouraging us to do this.
Enjoy.

Re: JVN Challenge: Record your Season!

i try to take pictures of the build process robot wise and then post them all to facebook. this year was kind of tough, we worked at Lockheed and they did not like the idea of me taking photos with my iphone in the building and posting them. thus no public record of this years build unless we were off property. we try to get the students to blog, some have, most dont have the time when they are face first in to the robot.

Re: JVN Challenge: Record your Season!

On page 15/55 of Jim's journal and really liking it. I like the glimpses of the control systems development.

If I am still with my team next year I am going to attempt to do a control systems side-of-things season journal, which with our team usually lasts long after build season
