The Final Countdown

Hello Everyone,

Business Operations has been preparing for the upcoming competition in Mt. Vernon. The chairman’s presentation and pit teams have been hard at work practicing for Q & A. This will be the first year Biz Ops will not have its own crate for competitions and we are excited to pack light. The notebook was wrapped up and it will be the only thing we will bring with us to competitions. On a different note, we will also be working closely with Data team on a new exciting project.

Stay Smelly,

Ian (Business Operations Lead)

Hello Everyone,

Design has been working on finalizing the competition robot’s mecanum arms for picking up cans. By doing so, we improved this mechanism so that it will help strengthen the robot in matches by enabling more consistent can accusation. Also the changes to the robot would prevent critical damage to the can collector. Another project that we are working on was improving the robot cart. We improved the cart so that it would make it stronger and easier to use. This would help the team by shorting the amount of time to place the robot on the field.

Stay Smelly,

Daniel (Design & Build Team)
