Division Updates
Electrical
Almost there! With our first regional competition about a month away, everything is going as planned. Wire management is processing well with the end goal of preventing disaster on the field. Some examples of what we are doing include cutting down excess wires, insulating certain components, and prepping for the addition of the hopper. We have also been working closely with the Programming Division to solve problems that come our way.
Mechanical
The build is currently hitting its final strides. We are currently focusing on making the hopper and we are currently retreading the robot wheels so it is stable for the field.
Programming
Now that we are getting our hands on the physical robot, the code is truly coming to life. We are actively refining general robot functions and identifying bugs that only appear during live testing.
Business
It’s been a busy month for the Business Division. We are currently preparing for our Sequoia STEM Fair next week and have officially scheduled a Panda Express fundraiser for next month. We’ve also received our new button maker and are going to begin production on our new button designs for this season.
Lunch For Saturday Build Sessions
We are still looking for lunch volunteers for our upcoming build sessions! We currently have plenty of plates, utensils, and napkins, so you only need to provide the food itself! Sign up here: Build Season Lunch Signup
Snack Update
Currently we are running low on water and require donations of water but don’t need any more snacks.
