Ri3D 'Snow Problem 2017

[cadandcookies]

Hello Chief Delphi!

'Snow Problem is excited to be returning for our third (!!) season of Robot in Three Days.

We'd like to thank our sponsors, which include University of Minnesota College of Science and Engineering/Student Union and Activities/CSE Expo, AndyMark, PHD, and all our friend and family who are supporting the build. We'd also like to thank Rev Robotics and iR3 Creative for their continued support of the Robot in 3 Days program and in particular Rev for offering support that due to a miscommunication we weren't able to take advantage of.

For anyone that wants to follow along live with our build, we'll be live streaming on Twitch at z.umn.edu/snowproblemstream

We'll most likely be starting our strategy session around 3:30 CST and going until we're done for the day. From there, the plan is to start around 9:00 AM and go until we're done for the day. Myself and a few other people will be on the twitch stream to answer questions when we aren't working on the robot.

We'll also be a part of the daily summaries on https://www.youtube.com/Robotin3Days as well as being a part of the Ri3D Team Indiana Show on FUN which you can find at https://www.twitch.tv/firstupdatesnow.

If you want some behind the scenes looks at the build, you can also follow us on Twitter @SnowProblemz, Facebook at /snowproblemz, or on Snap Chat with, you guessed it, snowproblemz. We also have a website at http://snowproblem.org/ which will have our stream and any resources we post.

After the build, we'll take some time to clean up our CAD model and then post that along with (hopefully for real this time) a white paper on our design. We're hoping to get our reveal video out within a few days of our "stop build".

Above all, we can't wait to see what the FRC Community makes of Steamworks. You guys are why we do this!

We'll be taking questions throughout the build in this thread and on Twitch, so feel free to ask about anything you see on the stream. Like I said, we do this for you guys, so we'll try our best to answer any questions you have about our robot or even the equipment you see in our shop.

Best of luck, and we'll see you at the competition!
