On Thursday morning, as we were getting ready to head to the San Diego Regional, we received the news that the regional would be postponed. Within a couple hours we received further news that the entire FRC season is suspended and that both world championships are cancelled. You can read the full announcement here. AsContinue reading “The End of Infinite Recharge”

These last two days (and whatever time we have left tomorrow) we’ve really focused on ironing out the little kinks we have to get right for this next regional. Most of it comes down to our shooting and the software that goes behind it. So far, we’ve been able to change to PID on ourContinue reading “Post – Del Mar Regional”

Friday – March 6 On Friday we were planning on quickly getting inspected, tuning our limelight on the field, and driving all day long in practice matches. As we would normally expect of any robotics team, the plan quickly flew out the window. We spent some time initially drilling out the bushings on the otherContinue reading “Del Mar Regional”

We entered the Wednesday (March 4th) before competition with high hopes for extensive drive time and few other errors. However, as it always happens, we were able to get very little drive time and instead had various issues to deal with. Most prominent of the issues was our climber. Initially, the soldering connections on theContinue reading “Pre – Del Mar Regional”

Not much to say for today. We re-did our blue bumpers (which were done yesterday) since we put them a little low before. We also added a small strip of carpet after the color wheel so that the driver could practice driving underneath it smoothly. Then, as software was working on autonomous, we got aContinue reading “March 3rd”

Sorry for not posting for a couple of days. After the full systems check last Wednesday we spent Thursday and Friday giving software some time to work on their necessary tasks. On Thursday, we were able to attach the bottom limit switch for the tube adjustment mechanism and get it to work. This means thatContinue reading “March 2nd”

Lots was finished yesterday and today. We continued our “pit stop” yesterday and were able to fully complete the tube and get most of the electrical (except for a few connections) ready. All that was left to be done for today during fourth period (we’ve been working during fourth period at school since a goodContinue reading “February 26th”

Yesterday I deliberately didn’t write a blog because there wasn’t much to talk about. Things are overall going according to plan with one small exception: software. So far they have gotten around 7 hours (on Saturday and Sunday) to work on autonomous and our options right do not include pathweaver. Despite this, we hope thatContinue reading “February 24th”

We started off the day with some testing. We rewired the climber so that the motors now get 40 amps and that seemed to do the trick. We were able to quickly climb on both the top and bottom hooks and it looks like the climb should be good. After we finished testing that weContinue reading “February 22nd”
