Even though we ended up getting eliminated in Round 3 of semi-finals we still have high hopes for the Seven Rivers regional. During the time in between we will be making improvements on our robot, fine tune coding, replace some parts that were damaged during Iowa and prepare for lacrosse. Our early crew for Seven rivers Regional will be leaving on April 3rd and everyone else will leave on April 4th! check us out on blue alliance, we appreciate the support!

The 1625 Annual Open House was this past Sunday, March 10th! Thanks to everyone who came to see the Bot Shop and see our engineering process! We unfortunately didn't have our robot operational for the Open House, but our efforts were able to be shown. Along with our robot, there was a 20-year memorial set up, as this is our 20th season of FIRST. There was also a table with buttons and a tri-fold poster with an explanation of FIRST and a summary of our team this season. Our sponsor presentation was also displayed, rolling continuously from a projector on the garage door. Thanks to cookie providers for adding a sweet treat to our open house!
Again, thanks to anyone who came to the open house! We are excited to continue to document our progress (and share it with you) through the season! Our Annual Open House is this Sunday March 10th 2pm-4pm! We will be showcasing our progress this season, Team history, and information about FIRST and the FTC and FLL teams mentored by Winnovation. We will also be providing cookies!  Since January 6th, our team has made lots of progress on the robot design! Our CADing is mostly finished–there are some changes being made occasionally but nothing too major. Our part manufacturing team is about 85% of the way complete. We have been piecing together a great sum of the robot already because of the welding going on in our shop. Welding is helping us not only assemble our robot, but also envision and make changes to the bot when needed. This is because the CAD design could look and turn out differently from how the robot will actually look and function. Our robot will be expected to shoot, throw, and hang on the chains attached to the stage. The team expects to be completed around the time of our Open House, which is March 10th from 2:00—4:00pm at our bot shop. At our Open House we plan to showcase our robot for this season and provide cookies!!! |
