Well fall training rotations are done, phew. Now we get into the nitty gritty details of robotics. Overall I think the fall rotations went well. Our four groups started off around 4-5 members each and grew to 8 students with one outlier that had 9 students. By the end of the rotations the large group…

Wow, uh missed a few posts here, I’ve spent more time in the lab than sleeping since Sunday. The team is definitely feeling the crunch trying to get the traversal climber working.

It was a busy day with some ups, and some big downs. The day started off with a visit from the shop dog Annie. She keeps the business students company every Saturday morning until about lunch these days. Annie provides a nice relief for the students and it tires her out which is a win…

The agenda for the time between Austin and Amarillo consists of auto, traversal, and back spin reduction. Tonight we are progressing on all three fronts. The main robot has spent most of the night running auto routines. The second robot is doing testing with the PTFE hood backing to see how much it affects the…
