General
Great job last week !
We have a prototype ball intake/shooter and a 6WD pneumatic wheels drive assy. I was talking with a coach from Brighton today and they are exactly in the same spot we are. This is a team that has been to the World Championship many times…. Let’s keep up the good work.
Rhino tank threads are due in today. We will start assembling tomorrow.
We need to focus on our sub team. I realized there is some exciting stuff going on, but everyone has a job to do and we need to make sure we are focusing on the task at hand as our deadline is fast approaching.
We will have our first annual Build Blitz weekend of 1/29-1/31. We will start at 5pm on Friday night with a goal of a build robot by Sunday night 6pm. More info to come. To make sure this is successful, we need the design wrap up and parts on order by 1/25/16 at the latest.
