The fifth week has finished, and that\u2019s not the only thing that\u2019s done! We\u2019ve finished many aspects of our robot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mechanically<\/strong>, we\u2019ve been adding onto our robot, making the red and blue bumpers, attaching the radio and limelight, and fixing any issues we encountered. We’ve also built a second chassis and tested the drivetrain for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, in the programming <\/strong>aspect of our robot, we\u2019ve programmed the limelight and have gone to coding the autonomous period for our robot, making tweaks here and there for the optimal performance! We\u2019ve been finalizing the scouting app, and ensuring that the application is distributed on all of the student iPads. We are also working on fleshing out our custom database front-end, which involves the representation of team statistics during competitions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The electronics<\/strong> part of our robots have also been busy! We\u2019ve wired up the second chassis for our practice robot, set up 10 new batteries for our competition, and helped mechanical and programming with wiring up the limelight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n M.I.R<\/strong>\u2019s build season is starting to pick up, with the basic chassis of the robots built and with the teams taking stock of the materials they have, preparing to create their own unique robots!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve worked hard in our other operations<\/strong>, with us making more pins, videos, and preparing for N.E.W: National Engineering Week, which starts on February 18th!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our fifth has been spent with us branching out in our progress, finishing our previous tasks and moving onto the next!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The fifth week has finished, and that\u2019s not the only thing that\u2019s done!
