Last week, kids all over the Portland Metro area rejoiced at the school cancellations/delays, but no students were happier than FIRST students. Why? Because no school means all day robotics meetings! While members of our team weren’t lucky to have our school cancelled, I know many teams who were granted this blessing. It’s just part of the FIRST spirit to wish for days off school not to go home and slack off but to do even harder work at a robotics meeting.
In other news, our team finished our prototypes! We currently have two: a two-wheel launcher and a one-wheel guided launcher. We are currently testing either and attempting to determine which will be more accurate, powerful and flexible. Our frame is being welded, our code is being written, and our website is being designed. For the first time in a while, our team is on schedule! Two weeks down, four to go.
Below is our team’s weekly video entry to FIRST (PS thanks for the flipcam Bob Goetz!)
