Alpha Bot: it’s alive
After a busy and successful TR Open Day, we can look back satisfied because we were able to show off our Alpha Bot. Our electrical department continued to work on wiring the robot on Saturday to make sure everything was ready for a first test drive on Sunday morning. This resulted in a perfect opportunity for driver practice where friends, family, and partners were watching every move of our driving robot.
Future Alpha Bot Development
Testing and controlling the other subsystems was postponed till after the Open Day. This decision was made to give the controls department the necessary time to check the prepared software architecture and implement the code developed for the subsystem prototypes.
After the open day, all checkups were performed and the Alpha Bot was ready for take-off. This meant we ready to start driving, intaking, shooting, and rotating the Shamper for the first time!
In the upcoming days, the Alpha Bot will be in the hands of our controls department to continue software development. Stay tuned for their updates in the upcoming days.
