The new competition is out, Starstruck! * IMPORTANT NEW RULE * (Transformations are allowed) 10 motors max (including pneumatic) 12 motors max (not pneumatic) Scored – A Scoring Object is Scored in a Zone if it meets one of the following criteria:
Today our group worked on each of the principal stages (Programming, Building, Brainstorming, etc.) while preparing for the next competition. There will soon be a post about the items that we will have ready, which will also categorize each item from most important to least important so that we know which items should be saved for later. Today, our programmers have finished the program and now are resting & brainstorming their tactics for the next VEX robotics game. Our builders are constantly working harder than ever to finish the base and launcher. Today, our club worked on the two different projects at hand. The builder group finally finished the base and Is now finalizing the launcher. The motors are set to high speed and now next class, the launcher is expected to be finished. The programmers are constructing a plan on how the robot can move in the stadium for the most efficient result. Today, our programmers couldn't work on their part because the software got updated, but there is more time next club block. Since the program group was finished with the basics, they can get on to the more complicated target pointed autonomous assignments. Our builders started to work on the base since they finished building the launchers. After we complete this task, the next challenge is to connect the launcher to the base successfully and locate the cortex onto the new robot. Today our group continued in building and completing each role : Building and Programming The programming group came up with a basic autonomous programming for now. The programming so far can move the robot back and forth. Next club day, the programming group will move on to advanced planning and coordinated movement. The builder group today worked on re-creating the launchers. The larger wheels & the high speed motors were already prepared for the group. The main focus for this group was design and just building experience. Today our club has decided to fully prepare for the new VEX competition in 2016(During Fall). Our club members have completed a checklist to go through before the competition. During the recent competition (Nothing but net), two of our teams' robots have suddenly stopped working due to USB issues. Thankfully one team's robot was operational and succeeded in winning one of the programming awards! Checklist Our club leader has decided to involve all the club members to practice making parts of the robot. The rookies have spectated the building, programming, and competing moments. The first task is to create launchers of any design. (The flywheel is the easiest and most recommended.) Lets go Phoenix! |
