Halfway Through the Season
We are now halfway through the season and into week 4. Here’s an update on where we stand:
The Special Operations team has decided on a new and improved kicker apparatus, and they have almost completed the pneumatics that control it. The Drive Train team is on a steady track to their final stages. The Electrical and Programing teams have updated the wiring board for the robot. During the driver’s practice, the students were surprised at the efficiency and rapid response of our machine! Also on Friday, January 30, the students gave a presentation to Mr. Hall of DRH Design Group from whom they have received faithful funding for now three consecutive years. Currently, there are several pending sponsors, and we are hoping to have sufficient funds to meet our budget. Week four has a lot in store for the team! Stay tuned for further progress as we finish out the second half of build season 2010!
