Team Update: February 20, 2011 (Sunday of Crunch Weekend)

Hi everyone!

Safety Contact: With all the visitors today, watch your surroundings and make sure you and our visitors are being safe.

We changed from the omni wheels to the slick wheels we used in 2009 for Lunacy to help with traction.

While practicing today, we managed to flip the robot on its side and when we did that, we broke the plexiglass connectors that held the jaw on the robot. We had to take the robot back to the workshop to make a set of replacements.

We practiced all afternoon (minus when we had to fix the robot) and have a record of 6 tubes hung (Rachel driving and Sammy operating). We are close to our goal of 9 tubes in 2 minutes! Tomorrow we are just driving.

At the end of the meeting, the robot weighed in at 110.2 pounds without the bumpers, battery, or minibot things.

Thanks Mrs. Danner for breakfast and lunch today! Our next meeting is tomorrow from 9am til 5pm.

1 day left until we ship!
-Sammy
