Day 9


Our students launched into the second week with a surge of enthusiasm, determined to excel. The Control Systems team was a hub of innovation, meticulously testing and integrating new motors into our drivetrain, while also breathing life into a new shooter prototype. Their dedication to refining the drive code was nothing short of inspiring. Meanwhile, the Construction team expertly machined new parts and completed the drivetrain. The Business, Media, and Documentation crew kept pace, diligently finalizing the magazine and sharing our journey through the latest recap video.

Day 10


Despite the unforeseen hurdles of a power outage and rough weather, our team’s spirit remains unbroken. The Business, Media, and Documentation students worked remotely on FIA, Woodie Flowers, and magazine design. Construction and Control Systems groups used this time to engage in deep brainstorming, conjuring up innovative ideas and strategies. This day reinforced our team’s unwavering commitment to pushing forward, regardless of the obstacles.

Day 11


The Control Systems team continued fine-tuning our shooter mechanism while the Construction crew dedicated their skills to refining CAD designs and crafting robot components with unmatched accuracy. The Business, Media, and Documentation team is finalizing our team magazine, meticulously editing essays, presentations, photos, and videos, ensuring every moment of our team’s journey was captured and celebrated.

Day 12


With the end of week two in sight, our determination to make significant strides was palpable. Control Systems explored new programming frontiers, seeking optimization at every turn. Construction students collaborated closely with mentors, bringing their CAD designs to life and transforming them into tangible robot components. Meanwhile, the Business, Media, and Documentation team added the final flourishes to our magazine and website articles, capturing every step of our progress through their lenses, weaving a visual narrative of our journey.

Day 13


As the second week unfolded, the Construction team excelled in refining their shooter and diligently working on pivotal robot parts, all while brainstorming innovative climber ideas. Their dedication to the drivetrain was matched by their skill enhancement. The Control Systems team’s unwavering focus on testing the shooter and enhancing the swerve drive system’s precision was commendable. Business, Media, and Documentation continued to polish our magazine and website, capturing and preserving the essence of our hard work and perseverance through their photography.

Day 14


As we concluded the second week of the build season, the Construction team celebrated substantial advancements in the drivetrain, bringing our prototype closer to reality with their CAD designs and machined parts. The Business, Media, and Documentation team applied the final touches to our magazine, a testament to our team’s dedication and achievements. Meanwhile, the Control Systems group laid down a robust foundation for our program, establishing the groundwork for the sophisticated programming that lies ahead.

Day 15


On the last day of Build Season, our students are still quick at work with their mentors and peers! The Construction team has continued making progress on designing and adjusting the drivetrain whilst the CAD Team worked on machining more parts and working to create a functional prototype to test with other students. Control Systems has been busy! Working on their programming skills and modifying their code to adjust for errors.
