Spectrum Build Blog 2019
Spectrum’s Build Blog is back for its 8th season to document our progress designing and building a robot for DDS.
We will have (mostly) daily updates with pictures and videos of our prototypes and designs. We don’t like to keep secrets so most everything we do makes it up to the blog at some point. Feel free to ask for more clarification or additional information about anything and we will try to put it up. As we get further into the process our CAD for the season will be public on a grabCAD partner space (right now it’s mostly a bunch of nonsensical sketches).
You can read each Blog update here Blog.Spectrum3847.org
We also publish photos of our prototypes and build progress in this photo gallery.
Yesterday’s blog including prototypes for a simple hatch mechanism and ball intake.
2019 Rules Change Log - LINK
This is a document outlining some of the subtle and not so subtle rule updates in the 2019 manual from things that have traditionally held constant from year to year. Including the crippling BOM updates, weight requirement changes, no off-board compressors, and more. Make sure you are update on all the rule changes, if we missed something feel free to leave a comment.
