Is This Fun IR What?

Today is IR, IR, IR. (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.

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??

As for PR, it's same old, same old. Engineering Notebook, blog. As far as State goes, we were ready at Qualifiers.

It's Running!

Hey! Guess what, we have the robot up and running again. YAYY.

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!

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!

 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.

Alright, well that's all we've got for today, thanks for checking in!

Just for a Day

A'ight, today the build team will be mounting the plow, and since they got the rack and pinion done yesterday ( see last post ''I'm back''), they are going to be able to push the plow forward so, Logan, our driver can see what he is doing.





The programmers will be testing the rack and pinion on the bot, and so far that is going well. Well being a relative term. anyway they are testing, and rather than arguing about the relativity of the robot to wellness, they are fixing the bugs and being productive, unlike me.



we are having a relatively calm though unexciting day as our engineering notebook mastermind and kind of my boss, Sam, is not here. However we will manage for one day without her... (hopefully). Well, that's it for now, don't forget to check in, see ya.

I'm back!

hey people, Betsy's back!

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



The build team will be working on connecting the plow in a way that our drivers can see what they are doing when they are pushing blocks and scoring out on the field, along with perfecting their 'skiing routine. (Inside joke)

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.

You can see just how productive, and what a team effort this is, from this picture I titled "Really, More Games?" I'm just kidding, mostly, not really, but yeah I'm kidding.... (or am I?)






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.

Any Who, that's all i got for today, see y'all, we out!

Clean Up Time!

Hey y'all! Another installment of the grand workings of 7799 robotics team. Today we're gonna smooth around the edges of our inner workings, so that we can all work a little faster, be a little more productive.

An example of this is the build team. With some of our main chaperons not coming until later, they're taking this moment to clean up around the workshop and get everything organized. 

The programming team is making a new banner  for State in February. 

As for PR, it's really same old-same old. Update the blog, take pictures, and possibly work on the Engineering Notebook, if the person who has it makes it today. :(
