Today is quite the busy day. Our PR team is updating the Engineering Notebook and our Business Plan. They are also writing the new list of build materials. Since our competition in Eagan,we have given our robot a big makeover. We have made several changes including making the entire thing out of sheet metal and aluminum. Now we need to list every little thing again! All together, a stressful day for the PR team.<br />

Build team is reinforcing the wheels after a little incident at our halftime show performance. We were lifting ourselves onto the bar and the latch that locked us in place would not lock!! This caused our robot to plummet to the floor with a painful THUD!<br />

We also included some handy dandy tape work to include an IR sensor. In autonomous, the IR sensor allows us to score 20 extra points.<br />

(Infrared) The programming team finished the IR program, and they're going to test the IR beacon later today. Right now though, they're helping the build team with, you guessed it, IR.<br />
<br />
The build team is putting on the IR sensor, along with fortifying the port bar, so our little robot doesn't concave. Also, Did you know we got a switch??<br />
<br />
As for PR, it's same old, same old. Engineering Notebook, blog. As far as State goes, we were ready at Qualifiers. <br />

Hey! Guess what, we have the robot up and running again. YAYY.<br />
<br />
The build team, mounted the wheels back on the bot, so we can finally start to get things going again.Its been a little weird without a running bot for the past couple weeks, but we are sure glad to have it buzzing around the room!<br />
<br />
On a related note, the programmers have the autonomous working, they even think they have the IR sensor ready, which is totally awesome! Fingers crossed that it works!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Also, the rest of the team today, along with some 3313 team members are at our local food shelf, trying to help out as much as we can before the holidays.<br />
<br />
Alright, well that's all we've got for today, thanks for checking in!<br />

<br />
ooookkkaaaayyyyy, on the not-quit-awesome-but-still-pretty-cool side of things, lets see what's going on on the team agenda.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

(Inside joke)<br />
<br />
the build team will also be working on a new servo mounting bracket for the catch finger, which means we are doing more today than we thought we were gonna today.<br />
<br />

You can see just how productive, and what a team effort this is, from this picture I titled <i>"Really, More Games?" </i>I'm just kidding, mostly, not really, but yeah I'm kidding.... (or am I?)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
the programmers insanely smart brains containing lots of smartness, will be focused on configuring buttons for the TellyOp and to test the rack and pinion, that is if things go according to plan.<br />

We took the whole thing apart to change it to a metal base, though, so we have PLENTY to do.</div>

Hullo peoples! Since we are going to state, our team continues. YAY! Right back to work we go, fixing the bugs and other problems we found. The build team has taken our robot apart and is working on painting the base.<br />
<br />
Over in programming they are seeing what will happen if they adjust the time of the autonomous, Hope it goes well...<br />
<br />
The PR peeps are describing our victory at regionals, Writing in the engineering notebook, And just being super happy that we are going to state.<br />

WE"RE GOING TO STATE!!!! I know it's hard to believe, but I swear it's the truth. We didn't win the competition, but we got pretty darn close. We were picked by Fish in the Boat, the best team in Minnesota, and the current World champions. Our team made it to semi-finals, however, got out on the third round of that. After that, we all knew our fate. We had lost, and that was that. No one had ever expected that we would win. Not until the awards ceremony, anyways.<br />

I asked the team members how they felt about winning, and were mostly excited, surprised, exhilarated, ( That was a fun one to spell), and sore, Except for one who wasn't able to make it, due to health problems. He said he was confused and doped up on medicine. Poor boy.<br />

The build team has officially brought the robot to the carpet square, I'd tell what that is 'cept i don't know what that is... I think its where they put it to prepare for the showdown- I mean the competition, So that is awesome.Okay so I asked and it turns out a carpet square is just you know, well, a square of carpet. In the hallway.<br />
<br />
The mascot is getting some ink, Well okay so its technically paint and paper, But it still looks freakin' awesome, And then it will be perfect. Do You Hear?<u> PERFECT</u><br />
<br />
Well passing over my little maniac moment... the programmers are still just chill-axing, then we go to the competition Yay!!! But then if we don't place, we have to stop.... ):Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759303918212140505.post-12408789023002854542013-11-13T13:43:00.001-08:002013-11-13T13:44:27.399-08:00The End is NearOkay, so we are really close to competitions and we are just scurrying to get all of the finishing touches on the team's branches of work.<br />

With our first ever competition looming over us, the whole team is in a mini freak-out mode. The robot needs tweaking, the Engineering Notebook needs writing, the blog needs updating, and the programs need to be...programmed.<div>

They are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new motor, so they can replace the one that blew.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Its was another slow day as far as the programming team was concerned. The uploaded a few programs and... Oh yeah! THEY TEST DROVE THE ROBOT FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!!!! Which is a GREAT achievement for our team, and about time, too!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As for PR, we were cooped back up in our little computer cave, updating the blog and Engineering Notebook, and adding pictures to both.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
we've got the body of our mascot painted now, except for the shoulders, and its going well on the head. Its practically done, actually. We have the head and body painted black where needed, which is the main color, so, yay!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
the programming guys are working on autonomous, but are having a goof off moment right now, since there really isn't much to do.</div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVt2MMXO7fv2STb7YejqiYcbQsC61fsgTLQporEvchD-f51CAxejpS6fQCOo8vL1t1YBXMRLHEQCbYuH4AV7fRIO7opV91XgLbg3IiDk8Bk7xCd5NpctdLHlL-lHURq5Wex5a7r0yJ1R6J/s1600/IMG_7729.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVt2MMXO7fv2STb7YejqiYcbQsC61fsgTLQporEvchD-f51CAxejpS6fQCOo8vL1t1YBXMRLHEQCbYuH4AV7fRIO7opV91XgLbg3IiDk8Bk7xCd5NpctdLHlL-lHURq5Wex5a7r0yJ1R6J/s320/IMG_7729.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
the build team is done they get to just relax for a day, since there isn't much to do. All I have to say about that is no fair! >:(</div>
<div>
just kidding... Mostly :) </div>
<div>
<br />
So all in all just kind of a nice easy end of the week, and a great beginning of a three day weekend that everyone's looking forward to.</div>

With the competition so soon, the entire team rushed to get everything done. Apparently, a little too fast.<br />
<br />
With the robot practically done, the build teams day consisted of tweaking the little problems of the robot , such as a loose wheel to pull the robot up the bar.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The programmers are pretty much done, too, so they spent the day playing video games and pretending to be productive.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkZ_nWtJ3xPdNw4V-bcbTsC1NAlpFaNeDOrwp1BT761I-WqMOHbibyIHljSSy2Pz48FQhC5exYtc2zLPHfQBhV62bjXQIhrdV19Ag1kV20hzBh18re-3P5xJhn6vRkgjcjVo1p9bl6FWoX/s1600/IMG_7717.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkZ_nWtJ3xPdNw4V-bcbTsC1NAlpFaNeDOrwp1BT761I-WqMOHbibyIHljSSy2Pz48FQhC5exYtc2zLPHfQBhV62bjXQIhrdV19Ag1kV20hzBh18re-3P5xJhn6vRkgjcjVo1p9bl6FWoX/s200/IMG_7717.JPG" width="200" /></a>The PR team updated the blog and engineering notebook, and continued painting the mascot.<br />
<br />
Kind of a boring day, but its better than rushing to get done.<br />

We got a new program for...programming, which is so much more efficient. In the few hours we've been here, the programming team has covered everything they've been working on for the past several weeks, and now are done programming until the robot's been built.<br />
<br />

According to them, the body is a lot easier to do than the head, and they are doing really well on it. You know, measurements and such.<br />
<br />

Again. They need more space for the arm and brick. (The part that gets programmed) Someday, I'm sure we'll decide on a final size.<br />
<br />
The writing team updated the blog and new members page, and worked on the Engineering Notebook.<br />
<br />
Well, bye for now. More soon!<br />

Today, on the team of Autobotics, the build team focused on getting power to the second DC Motor Controller, so they can pass the robot to the Programmers to make further progress on autonomous.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Over in the the programmers corner, they finished autonomous, and debugged everything! Round of applause to the students working on programming! They even managed to get TeleOp working! Everyone is excited to have made further progress on the robot.<br />
<br />
The PR team worked hard on the engineering notebook and completed half of the meetings for it. Today, we have a new person on our team... Mathew! Mr. Bydlon brought cookies to share with everyone, and they were delicious! </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The build team put the electronics together so they could drive the robot again. They put a new motor on, because the previous one was no longer working.

We made two pots, one was dark and delicious, made by the team's two girls, and one was weak and tasteless, made by someone who shall remain nameless, namely Hunter.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have almost finished the assembly of the mascot's head, and now all that is left is the rest of the robot body and painting it. Yay?<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
The build team had to replace a hinge in the robots arm, because the past one made for the robots arm broke. They have been working hard on getting the robot to hang successfully from the bar, and they are getting close.<br />
<br />
The programmers enabled the robot to drive up the ramp successfully. They think that they're doing pretty well, and are on track to get most of the programming done by the time the robot is finished being built.</div>

<br />
There has been a lot to do, especially in the building aspect of the the robot. After fully building the base with tetrix parts, the build team took it all apart again to build it out of plywood. While this may have slowed us down at first, the team believes it will help us immensely in the long run, because then we would have more surface area on the robot to mount things.<br />
<br />

So far, we've only gotten the head started, but soon we'll have a life- sized robot dancing around with a probably very sweaty person controlling it.<br />

So far, we have a basic movement program, so that the robot can move back and forth, and turn. According to the group of kids working on programming, we should have a program enabling the robots arm to pick up and move blocks, despite the fact that our robot doesn't yet have an arm to move.<br />

<br />
After a few hours of hard work, the programming team came close to finishing the programming for the dispenser, or for those that do not know much about robot parts, basically, the arm that lifts the blocks.<br />
<br />
While the programming team was working hard, the build team finished remaking the electrical board to create more surface area. This now gives them more room to work with when completing the wiring for the robot.<br />
<br />
The group working on the mascot went to Menard's to purchase a hard hat for the mascot helmet and a lot of glue sticks! They plan to start on the helmet in the next meeting.<br />
<br />
The PR team worked on writing blog post and they took many pictures and videos.<br />

He assumed it was going to be chaos meeting with both the FTC team and the FRC team. While he may have been correct, it was a learning experience for everyone.<br />
<br />
<br />
This was the FTC team's first time meeting the high school robotics team. Although learning names has been a very difficult process we are making progress.<br />
<br />
After the FTC teams were split into groups with the senior high school students they worked on learning programming, building our robot, and creating our blog, Twitter, and Youtube account.<br />
<br />
The building and programming teams were very successful! We managed to get a robot moving on the very first day. We had Mike Gilberson, one of our FRC mentors help out us out.<br />
<br />
The social media team had a fun time setting up the blog and twitter account. We worked hard writing blog posts and creating a team member page.<br />
<br />
Thanks to all of the hard work from our team and the FRC team we had a successful second meeting!<br />

We picked out our logo, along with its color scheme and team name. We also went over team members names and got to know each other.<br />
<br />
Our biggest challenge we faced was picking the team color. One of the team members insisted on hot pink, however, the other members gently turned him down. Most of us agreed that it would be--hideous. After much discussion we came to an agreement. For instance, red, purple, and teal were our other choices, and after several long minutes of debating we voted on the three colors. Purple was the majority vote.With the color decided, we moved on to the name.<br />
<br />
Within the span of a few seconds, the room became a flurry of commotion. Ultimately, we came to an agreement of "Autobotics." A combination of autonomous and robots.<br />
<br />
We had planned to start building our robot, but we ran out of time after discussing our team name and logo. We did, however, have time to watch the game video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPAATO-NpcM">"Block Party."</a> We discussed our needs and wants for our team and narrowed it down. This skill was one the middle school students learned from the high school robotics team. As we concluded our meeting me toured the Ag shop at the high school where future building of the robot would take place.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
