Day 21: Keep Working!


Today’s meeting started with Corey addressing everyone, letting us know that we need to work on our shooter, because some parts of it are wrong. We have done the design, prototype, and testing, so the hard parts are done. However we still need to get stuff done, NOW. Also keep in mind when someone criticizes your work it’s constructive, and not meant to be taken to heart. Everybody on the team is equally helpful. As we start working later, don’t forget to clean up at the end of the day so everyone can go home faster.  Media team didn’t have much to do today, however tomorrow they will start to prep for printing the spirit wear shirts/crewnecks. Animation team made an asteroid field and space background for their ongoing challenge. Business team printed out the many certificate of appreciation pages onto cardstock, and put them in respective folders for all members of team 4296. Mechanical team tested the shooter arms for the final design to make sure it works. They also made a tool shelf, and got the wheels and chains onto the chassis. Controls team wasn’t needed much today. Programming continued vision targeting by testing the robot going up a ramp, to see whether or not the vision targeting was precise. If it is accurate, a bell will go off to signal something is in the path of the robot. CAD team researched other team’s robots, and plans on Chief Delphi. Safety team put another coat of paint onto the pit, and finished up the robot cart. Lastly and but certainly not least, a quick thank you to the parents that provide dinner for the team members staying late. We couldn’t function without your help!
