WildStang is proud to (finally!) reveal our robot for 2015 - our 20th season!
A reveal in mid-April?
In all honesty, we have not had time to get a photo up before now!
This year has been challenging for our team, a year of transformation and change. A number of the changes have brought some unique and new challenges and constraints. These include:
* Moving quickly to a new, much (much!) smaller build location (shared woodwork classroom), with desk space (for CAD, software) far removed from the build space
* Having to throw out 2/3 of our tools/benches/resources during the move
* 65 students, 7 technical mentors
* Storing all our things in a shipping container outside our build space, requiring a daily load-in, loud-out (through winter cold and snow)
* Reduced weekly build hours
But through all this, the team has worked hard to look past the challenges and work within the constraints, aiming to produce a robot that can play competitively at a high level - complete with an appropriate number of weight holes. Each competition has seen us make some changes, and we improved through each regional. After two semi-finals finishes this year, ending in 3rd and 4th place, we are pretty happy so far.
Pretty happy?
WildStang is never done. You know that.
Continuous improvement is our middle name. All of us. It's a requirement of joining the team.
We have spent the last week making tweaks, improvements and small additions (small, long-reaching additions, if you know what I mean..), and will be spending the remaining time practicing and fine tuning, ready to come out lifting fast at Champs.
