Build Season Week 4 - Saturday

Our CAD team tested many aspects of the claw on our Big Arm. They tested to make sure the claw fits inside the starting configuration of our robot, which is tucked inside the frame perimeter. The ROBOJACK was also put into the robot on CAD to make sure it fit inside. The Big Arm on our robot lacked support and started to bend, so more supports were created to prevent from any sort of bending or falling. Two robots are built every year, one practice robot to test mechanisms and to practice driving, and one to use directly for competing. Our Mechanics team worked on making a second claw and arm for our competition robot after it had been put on the practice bot. Motors were also wired to get the Big arm and claw moving, to test how well both of those mechanisms held up. Our Chairman’s team worked on the essay for the Chairman’s award, and voiced over our video. Chairman’s also prepared for our Sponsor Night presentation coming up on February 18th by having students practice presenting as well as edit slides in our presentation to express as much about our team as possible.
