Build Season Week 1 Update

The team has been busy building and programming the robot, building the outerworks defenses and planning the spirit team items.  We are all looking forward to see how this is all going to come together at the ICC Robotics Scrimmage next weekend. New this year, we built our own webcasting and CAD computer in preparation…

Our team competed at the Gitchi Gummi Get-Together on Friday July 19th and 20th, 2019. The Gitchi Gummi is an off-season tournament that we attend each year to train in new drive teams and bond with local robotics teams. Our robot performed admirably during the qualification matches. We went 8-3-1 earning a spot as the…

The third week of build season was a milestone for us as we transitioned from designing to building the robot. Before finalizing the designs for different game piece manipulators, we tested the prototypes a great deal and worked out most of the issues. With the finalized designs, we were able to begin cutting and milling…

In the first week of build season, our team has been busy designing the robot for this year’s challenge, DESTINATION: DEEP SPACE Presented by Boeing. We prototyped a lifting mechanism and began CAD designing the robot frame. Our programming team has successfully implemented all of the brand new software on our prototyping robot. In field…

[metaslider id=3091]     During the second week of build season, our team accomplished a multitude of tasks getting us closer to a completed robot. Our build team finished prototyping the robot along with assembling a lift kit, which is a powered mechanism that can raise game components up over seven feet in the air….

On December 3rd, teams from all around the area went to Itasca Community College for a day of robotics training seminars. Students learned programming, electrical wiring, and other aspects of robotics that will help them as they prepare to tackle this year’s FIRST Robotics challenge! Our team presented two classes: Drive Trains and Transmissions, and…
