Build Season

During the prototyping process, our mechanics team tested and decided against suction cups  because while it lifted up hatch panels in a functionable way, it couldn’t pick up the cargo, so we went with a velcro design instead. This was designed by our CAD team.  Since then, our mechanics team finished our electrical board and mounted it onto the chassis. They’re also making the claw to pick up the hatch panels and cargo for our big arm. Our CAD team assembled the RoboJack, which is a scissor lift used to lift up the robot on to Hab level 3. They also designed the claw in an effort to get the velcro piece working and connected to the big arm. Our Chairman’s team continued to work on the essay and make more progress to the video. They also worked on the presentation for our annual Sponsor Night, hosted on February 18th.
