Team Update: February 2, 2011

Hi everyone!

Hope everyone's Groundhog's Day was great!

Safety Contact: Make sure to unplug machinery when doing any repairs.

The frame was in the workshop tonight, so things were moving like crazy in the workshop.
The programming team rewrote the program for the teleop and autonmous to account for the robot being unstable when the telescope is forward. They also reimaged the Classmate.

The drive system team created a new set of wheels and spacers, made spare spacers and everything else to mount.

The claw team made a new hinge for the claw.

We had some people working individually on different projects as well.
Michael: precisely milled, drilled, and bolted the trolley to the telescope.
Jakob: helped Mr. Weick with the mounting of the telescope motor.
Ally: worked on mounting things and cutting metal for later mountings.
Christian: worked on the minibot.
Samantha: worked with Mr. Fordham in starting electrical work.

Thanks to Rachel's grandmother for bringing dinner tonight! Our next meeting is tomorrow at 4:30.

Also, please keep Rev. Strickland (Samantha's grandfather) in your thoughts for the next couple weeks. Yesterday morning he slipped on the ice and fractured his ankle. He is currently at Cooper University Hospital and is under the care of some of the top doctors on the East Coast. But please keep him in your thoughts as he recovers from this injury.

See everyone tomorrow!
-Sam
