The Day Has Come


Today was filled with panic as every group struggled to finish their robot in time to earn an A, unfortunately no other group was able to finish on the due date. We spent the day helping other groups finish their robots, and help them finish before the end of the period, Also we were able to finish putting all of our coding on one remote, allowing us to control our whole robot with one controller.

The Juggernaut in it's Virtual Glory!

Shooter Fix


Today we had to make a few changes to our shooter, we had to change our gear ratio, and also change the way we had it mounted on the robot. With the new mount it is way more accurate and shoots way further. Now we are finished with our robot, right as it is finished being mounted.

Elevator Fix


Today we added a second motor on our robot. We put this motor on the other side of our elevator. This makes it easier for our elevator to go up and down, it works a lot faster and smoother. After that we are almost done with our robot!

Guess Who



Guys this is a special moment our very own Nicholas Schwab is actually in contact with the robot rather than his usual position in front of the computer screen. Nick is the mastermind behind the solidworks build of the robot but its nice to see him working in a different environment. That's what this team is capable to do and makes its a good team. Everyone can evenly distribute work in every field of the build.

New Shooter


Today we ran into a problem with our shooter. We fixed the issue of the elevator, but now the elevator goes up and hits the gears on our shooter. Today we are working on raising the gears of the shooter, and changing the design of  the shooter a little bit.
