Week of the 2nd
This week we focused on continuing rookie training and preparing ourselves for our offseason competitions.
CAD Successes and Hummingbonk Bumpers
Mech is split between training and bumper work at the moment. CAD training is progressing well and we have some good news - the district was able to provide Solidworks 2022 on the computers in our school’s computer lab. This means we’re able to stick with Solidworks for our CAD this year. As such, we’ve continued CAD trainings now with Solidworks. Yay!
Our other experienced mech students have been continuing work on the bumpers for our Hummingbonk robot. One improvement those with a keen eye may notice on our Hummingbonk robot is that we’ve lowered the plate on which all the electronics are mounted, so that everything is contained within the robot.
Hummingbonk is looking good!
Programming training and robot verification
The programming team is continuing its Java training. We’ve been teaching classes & object oriented programming this week, and we’re progressing well. Our other programmers have been working on robot verification. Both our 2023 competition robot Crane and our offseason project robot Bonk have to be verified for offseason competition use. Our programming team has also been working with our media team to create useful infographics for our drive team such as controls diagrams and auto diagrams.
Such a studious programming team
That’s all for this week. See you next week!
