Programming tested LEDs, and will continue testing them next week. They also worked on testing their time of flight sensor for the hopper. They helped engineering find the right way to angle their shooter. Programming this week has been working on testing shooter. Engineering is also working on finishing jointing the CADs so they can get the final design done soon. If all goes to plan we should have our final robot built in the upcoming weeks, just in time for competition season. We also began ordering the final parts to build our robot. The time has come when most engineering project groups have finalized and have started to test their prototypes. We can’t wait to see our friends at Hudson Valley! Once we finish our robot we will have driver practice on Saturdays in preparation for our first competition during week 4. Let’s see some pictures of our Maidens at work! Marketing worked on their Chairman’s presentations and new additions to the website this week. Additionally, they worked on adjusting the button map for the joysticks so our driver and operator can have maximum control of the robot while it is on the field. Programming worked on testing the shooter this week, making sure that the angle was just right to allow our balls to go into the inner goal. Until next time!Īt last, we are finally done prototyping! Our Maidens are now hard at working building the robot so we can get it done in the upcoming week, leaving us enough time for programming to test and for electronics to mount the board.Įngineering started building the chassis this week and now that are busy rebuilding the successful prototypes of the hopper and turrets into their final form. We can’t wait to transport our robot to Hudson Valley and compete with amazing teams in the coming weeks. From Monday onwards electronics will mount the rest of the board and wire the robot and programming will finish testing and debugging. We should have our robot finished by the end of the week, the latest being Saturday. Last but not least, marketing continued to work on updating the website, presenting our Chairman’s presentations, and recoloring the Fe Maidens girl logo in Photoshop. There was a slight compression issue with the intake but engineering was quick to fix it to prevent further problems.Įlectronics worked on assembling the final board that would fit around the hopper. This week programming tested the drivetrain and chassis and it worked! We finally have a driving robot that we could practice on! Engineering worked on finishing the shooter as well as assembling the climb and hopper onto the robot. Week one of competition has passed and our team is busily finishing up our robot just in time for our week four competition. It’s been a tough eight weeks and we are NOT ready to give up now. While the news that the Hudson Valley Regional being postponed is disappointing, we can’t wait to continue to further improve on our robot so that we can once again make it to the top 8 alliances this year. Hopefully once the robot is finished being assembled we will be able to test the drivetrain and all the mechanisms as a whole. We continued to test the intake and shooter.
FRC DRIVER STATION MOST UPDATED CODE
Programming: The code is finished and all that is left is to test.
FRC DRIVER STATION MOST UPDATED HOW TO
As the various mechanisms are being finished, they will be assembled onto our chassis and should be ready to finish wiring and testing by the end of the week.Įlectronics: They continued wiring the robot and they also taught our programming rookies how to solder wires. Our expert CNC’er, Montaha, worked on CNC’ing the 1/8” shooter plates. Eva updated our newsletters, while our marketing minors continued to work on the Scrapbook that would be used during Chairmans and compiling footage for our robot reveal video.Įngineering: This week engineering worked on mounting the turrets as well as fixing the intake gear box. Marketing: They continued practicing for the Chairman’s presentation as well as compiling and cleaning images for the SVG sponsor plate. Here is a recap of what our departments have been unto this week: While this was discouraging to hear, the Fe Maidens were determined not to give up and took this as an opportunity to better our robot for the upcoming NYC regional in the next few weeks.
Today we received the unfortunate news that the Hudson Valley Regional would be postponed.
