We started the PowerUP 2018 season and we are so excited! The game presents many challenges and strategy will play a big role in how the matches play out. Check out the video for the game here. Rookie members of the team went to Grand Rapids to get the kit of parts and celebrate with other teams, while veterans stayed behind to set up the field and study the rules. After the game was revealed we did a human walk through to learn how matches will play out. We then met to strategize and complete a QFD. This allows us to choose the best choices for the robot design.
On January 9th, students and mentors presented ideas for robot design. We were then able to evaluate the top designs and start prototyping. The next few meetings will be focused on super chassis prototyping and chassis development. We plant to release our white papers for this season on our website after build season concludes.
Progress has been going well all around, business working on chairman's video and essays, CAD working on possible robot design, mechanics is working on prototypes. We are excited to have a good and successful season.
