For Upcoming Events Yahoo Groups Calendar [click here] For Members only! : : The 2876 BLOG : : Building to the End. This Week, we recieved the parts we ordered online. Jason and Yash got the piston all set up with the help of Bruce. Eddy and Gerry re-programmed the drive system of the robot. Ram and Jerril got all 4 chains on all 4 motors and wheels. We planned on methods of gaining people's attention to attend the FIRST competition. Finally, the kicker is in the process of being built. Kicker Force The mechanical group was working on the kicker. They were trying to re-figure out the force needed to pull the kicker. They also worked on prototyping the robotic arm which is based off an according idea. The shop-in-a-box team painted part of the storage crate and measured the wood needed to build the interior shelf. The CAD group is working with the mechanical group to help with the kicker. Others were working on building the field and make a list of materials needed to build the field goal. The programming team are still working on the Camera. Eddy was able to make the robot move more smoothly. Kicking the Ball: Yet Another Bump. Today, the mechanics team worked on the kicker mechanism. They figured out how to kick the ball without rolling it. Most of their time was spent trying to control the ball. The kicked proved problematic as its distance to the ball altered the angle at which the ball was hit. The shop-in-a-box team sketched the robots onto the crates. The programming team worked on getting the camera to work. Website Updated Our website has just been upgraded/updated and has begun beta testing of weekly Newletters. For everyone on the yahoo groups section for our team, please join in to this site. Thanks! Slow Start, But finally Up and Running After much debate and discussion over technique strategy and design the team has finally begun its construction process. The bumps have been made and robot is now under construction And The Countdown Begins Today was the official start of the 2010 FRC season. 6 of us went down to Northeastern to join the Nu-trons and other teams to watch the kick-off and receive our parts. Back in town, the rest of the team began strategy and synopsis of the rules. Sen10rs Vs. Others Sponsorship Battle
