One of our main focuses of Week 5 was to finish fabricating our lift mechanism. Mechanically, we were able to accomplish that goal and more! Our endgame mechanism is mostly finished and mounted to our 2019 robot, and our collector for the hatches and cargo was worked on more. We have also finished the electrical layout and wiring.
For business and marketing, we completed quite a few things! All the magnets and mice have been made, the Woodie Flowers write-up submitted, and after some last touch-ups, the team shirt design got finalized. We then started to work on printing out our new pit banners and robot side cart panels and began the design process for the light-up cubes we have on the robot cart.

During Week 4, our Mechanical Team finished attaching our lifting mechanism and the battery holder to our chassis and have begun to build a few things for the mechanism we are using for manipulating the cargo and hatches. On our Programming Team, they worked on fine-tuning our vision system on our practice bot, Frankie, and are currently waiting to test their code on our actual 2019 robot.
Over on the business and marketing side of the team, the Chairman’s write-up was finished and the designs for the back of the shirt, cart panels, and the banners were completed. The front design of the shirt are in its final stages, and the fridge magnets are almost done. This week, they also started to work on the mice we hand out at competitions.
This week, we also had one of our alum visit us, giving us the opportunity to sit down and catch up with a nice cup of tea!
