Work Hard Wednesday

Today we got on with a smaller than normal team as some members stayed home to work on homework. Chairman’s team printed out an abundance of flyers for our Suzy’s Swirl fundraiser which will be held Tuesday, January 20th from 6-9pm in Gurnee. Suzy’s Swirl will be donating 20% of the proceeds towards our team (so be sure to stop by!).

They also worked on finalizing the team’s image by sending out a ballot via our Google drive for members to choose their preferred costumes.  Chairman’s safety leader wrote a booklet that promotes smart lab behavior amongst the other teams in the FRC community. Safety team spent their time in the woodshop as they tried to finish building the field components. Programming team worked on the test robot. Mechanical team worked hard to clean the middle room, weld, and verify that Design team’s working drawings were capable of being turned into a real product. Controls team put the solenoids on the robot and toiled with the pneumatic tubing. Design team took on a heavy load today as they worked to adapt the claw device, calculate the chassis weight to determine whether or not it should be pocketed (it most likely will be), finalized the motor system for autonomous mode and the tele-op period, and worked on their drawings and prototyping for the slide mechanism.
