After this year’s game, Rapid React, was revealed last Saturday, our team has experienced a thrilling first week. We got started right away brainstorming different ways to take on the challenges of the game. Our build and electrical teams got the flat bot put together and ready for the programming team to work with. The programming team has worked on mock codes for the swerve drive and updating code from last year. The build and design teams quickly started with building a mock setup of the goal being used in the real competition for practice. They have also built several prototypes for launcher designs this week. They have started on the logistics and designs of a climbing mechanism. Using the flat bot and prototypes for the launchers, the programming team has had the opportunity to test their code. With successful testing of launchers, our team has begun fabricating the launcher that will be used on the robot. The business team worked on our Woodie Flowers award submission, and an article for the newspaper. The team has made a productive first week of this season, and we are ecstatic to see what the future holds.
