Finale of Week 1 and the Commencement of the Week 2 Grind

The first week of build season has been a success! On Friday we wrapped up the week by holding a team meeting to discuss the pros and cons of building a short robot vs. a tall robot. Ultimately, we came to the decision that a tall robot would be strategically superior. We ended the meeting by setting goals for week 2. 

Today has been a productive day. Mechanical team finished up prototyping for the spinning roller wheel tote intake (shout out to Jesse Carpenter the mastermind!!) and began assembling the mecanum drive train that was shipped from Andymark. A separate sub mech team completed lots of calculations and drilling to make different field elements, specifically the scoring platform. The programming team troubleshooted the camera and prepared the electrical and programming control system to be deployed on the drive train, once the mechanical team is finished with assembly. Last but not least, Carolyn, Karen, and Jeff from the CAD team mastered CAD!!! They prototyped top secret things. Anthony Rolland, the Khan of CAD says, "I'm feelin' CAD-tastic and like I CAD do anything!"
