2471's Season in Review

Hi all,

I recently made a video showcasing the entire 2017 season for Team 2471.

This year was probably the best one yet for our team IMO, and I am thankful to have been a part of it. Here’s to next year!

Great Video, you guys had an amazing season. Keep it up :smiley:

Good to see you guys had such a great season. You’re an amazing team, and we were glad we could work together at the District Championship.

Same to you! It was awesome teaming up, I only wish that we were in the same field for Worlds :stuck_out_tongue:

I almost forgot to post the other video that also shows the overall season. This one doesn’t have any narration, but I still like it and hopefully will use it for outreach events.

Nice videos! Can you tell us a little about the carbon fiber panels you used?

We got them from a local sponsor called protect composites. They give us free range of their scrap pile, and it has been a fantastic material to work with. We have found it to be easier to machine than aluminum, high strength to weight, and very resilient in most loading situations. Their scrap is availible online for $25 per pound as well.

Link?

I’m guessing Bryce was referring to ProTech Composites. Seems like this company would be in their area so it was the best I came up with.

A little browsing got me to this link: http://www.protechcomposites.com/carbon-fiber-scraps-various-sizes-and-thicknesses-1-lb/

Yes. Sorry, I missed the typo in my earlier post.
