Week 1 recap

[GRT808]

Aloha from O'ahu,

Sorry to hear about your situation. We found ourselves in a similar dilemma during build season last year. We were told that we were goIng to be kicked out from our room and put in a storage container. Fortunately we'be established ourselves (we have a lot of bulky stuff) that it would be very troublesome to move us. Crossing our fingers that we don't downgrade from our current facility.

As for progress, we've nearly finished with our CAD and starts milling our chassis at various shops. If you folks needed any parts or assistance we have plenty from the previous KOP and from orders for previous robots so feel free to ask . Good luck this season and hope to see you guys at the Hawaii Regional!

We didn't have a build space until two days before kickoff. Try having no heat up in the North East Better yet, try finding a nice safe donted build space in West Philadelphia.

Everything we went through is documented with pictures on our website http://www.atomicrobotics.com/

Haha, thanks guys for.... the advice and support. We will be making it to the Hawaii regional. Fortunately we got a 10x10 space from the auto shop so we have about 5 bots somehow in there while we work, but we'll manage . Thanks for the offers, if we need anything we know who to ask. Something simple this year.

Yeah, we document all of our struggles and so far it's been.. fun. Last night our "storage crate" (an old E-Car container) nearly fell over and took our whole team to put it back to where it was, Thats Day 2 down for us. 4 and a half weeks left!

Thats not so bad. At least they didn't kick you out of the school.
