It has been a very busy week. Just a few of the things that have been done.

T-shirts have been ordered, again this year we are having the member's name put on the sleeve of the t-shirts.

Bumpers have been completed and our team number (133) has been painted on the fabric.

The base of the robot has been completed and we have started on building the shooting mechanism.

Some of our team members have been picking and attaching the eagle logo and name to our safety giveaways.

Brian, Josh P and Josh G are still waiting for the 2012 animiation criteria to be released.

Last night, slippery roads

Submitted by JoshG on Tue, 2012-01-24 15:13

The Advisors had to send a e-mail to all members about the roads last night. Since the roads were slippery due to freezing rain, it was up to the members if they wanted to come to TEM's. There were several members who still showed up and more work was done on the robot. Of course Ted, Scott and John (advisors/mentors)were there.

Saturday's progress

We had another busy day at robotics yesterday:
On the competition robot we built the frame, and put together the gear boxes. We cut out the wood for the configuration of our new bumpers.

Our inventor team worked on the drawing for building parts for the robot.

For the practic robot we added spaces to the frame so the wheels could line up with the sprockets.

The spirit committee worked on a list of cheers and discussed things they wanted to do at competition.
