We have come up with a few basic ideas which we will be working on prototyping and will let you guys know how that will be going next week! Hope y’all have an amazing build season!
Sorry we hadn’t updated in a week,
We have built our drive train, finished the amp field element, and are currently working on our electrical for our drivetrain. Our prototype for the launcher is going great too.
We’ll have a more detailed post in about 3 days.
We’re so excited to see the final robot, name TBD, take its first steps.

Hello,
We would like to apologise for the lack of posts. We’ve been working on trying to get new members and it’s been a bit of work to do everything without more sets of hands.
Over the past few weeks since we’ve started, we’ve successfully built and finished the amp field element, and have started and almost finished the speaker field element. In the midst of building those, we had run out of wood, and that set us back a few days until we were able to get more.
We also disassembled our old robot bumpers, and put together the new bumpers for this season. All that we have left to do for those are wrap them and put our numbers on them.
The drivetrain was the first thing we started working on, and the thing we finally finished with. It’s in working order and will be fully operational once we write the new code. We ran into some problems with the gearboxes while putting everything together though, purely because the gearboxes were not gearboxing.
We are currently working on putting together the shooter/intake. We have collected all of the parts we’re gonna use to put it together, we’re working on using the CNC to cut the plates we need for it, and are going to begin to build it and put it together as soon as possible.
