Day one was a blast, I personally think this will be a great game. Our team has mixed feelings, and chiefdelphi is about 60% thinking the game is meh. I love the game because its not a shooting game and it doesn’t have climbing. Not a very high bar, but its a great change of…

Last week we ran our team’s mock kick off on Wednesday. We had three groups of new and returning members read the 2017 game summary, complete the “Actions That Score Points” activity and finally go through the “Scoring Analysis” activity.

Why? The overall motivation for driver practice is to increase the number of matches that we can win in a season. Winning matches = more blue banners. We can design a great robot capable of winning matches but without a drive team that robot doesn’t win matches (yet, prove me wrong programming). Over the course…

Swerve Assembly A student and myself started assembly of the swerve modules on Wednesday. We were disappointed to see that there is still no written assembly instructions for SDS MKi4. There is only a video, so we had great fun rewinding a video every 15 seconds and trying to find out which pieces he started…

Team Building For 2158 team building is where our team comes together and does something other than robotics for a few hours. I know a lot of us eat, breathe, and dream about robotics but sometimes we all need a little break. Even if you don’t need a break others might. On our team’s team…
