The web design group makes the website for the Bonny Eagle Robotics Team (BERT). Every day we upload new content from videos of teammates doing random stuff to robot failures or successes. We spent a lot of time recording, taking pictures, and uploading them to our website.

It's exciting to bring a "hands-on" educational experience to our students. They also educate us in many ways. The USFIRST robotics program fortifies the values of science and technology in every participant whether a student or mentor.

The website has been submitted for awards consideration, thanks to team co-captain Wilson.
We'll keep on adding new Blog entries and Videos, of course.

This week, we've posted lots of new photos on the photos page, put up a photo slideshow of them on the About page, and lots of new videos of testing, especially of the minibot.
More to come, soon.
And, this is Submit for Awards Consideration week.

We are continuing to make slow and steady progress. This week's agenda: Finish installing and wiring the motors that drive the arm and claw. We have one installed and checked, and two others will be on real soon (operational by Tuesday or Wednesday we hope). We're finding we need to adjust or add to the brackets that connect the motors to the frame, to add to the stability of the motors while operating the arm and claw.
The mini-bot works awesome and we have a deployment design ready to go when the arm motors are fully installed.

Week 4 has come to a close, we're making steady progress. The bumpers have been completely done since last week, both sets, complete with mounting hardware and painted numbers. We've been test-driving the robot and making adjustments to the drive system. We have all the arm pieces fabricated and have been putting on the sprokets, chains and other hardware. We're machining motor/gearbox mounts and other hardware and should have the lower arm running early this week, and the whole arm and claw running by the end of the week.

Introducing the new Website design for this year.
We're still rearranging things to make them easier to find, but we hope everybody likes the new layout.
We plan that our team picture will change from time to time, as we never have everybody together on any given day.
Coming soon: videos of this year's build season and planning sessions.

We've been making progress in our comittees! The website has been going though some updates and changes thanks to Eleanor O'Neill and website design folks. They will continue to update student and mentor info, as well as updated sponsor information. We've been slowly progressing with Inventor and 3D Studio Max, we have a few dedicated students learning (and teaching), getting ready for build season. The machining teams have been meeting at Eagle Industries on Sundays, working with Ron Garland and learning how to machine parts, work with the equipment.

The team is now in Manchester, practicing and fine-tuning for the first day of competition tomorrow, Friday, March 5.
The Video/Web committee will be there capturing the action, and we'll post videos here as soon as possible... it all depends on how Wireless the Verizon Wireless Arena is!
Wish them luck and fun times
