95 days until kickoff! Chicken Bot Pie has had a super busy preseason while training in new members. Here's what each subteam has been doing: To help get the new members accustomed, the Build & Design team had the new members assemble a new shipment of Mk5 swerve drive modules. Along with that, new and old members have started to get back into CAD and started learning and relearning CAD skills with OnShape. They have also started training new members on larger machines so the

What has happened at Chicken Bot Pie recently? The short and easy answer: a lot! This week’s newsletter will go in depth of what each subteam has completed up to and at the Lake Superior Regional. Our team ended up as a 3rd pick on Alliance 3, and our Alliance got 3rd place! Days leading up to competition, programming is finalizing many aspects to their coding of the robot. With the almost completed robot able to be tested, programming’s auto code is able to be tested and tun

It’s the week before Week 0 here at Chicken Bot Pie! It is certainly a stressful time as we count down the days. Learn more about the progress we have been making this week! After watching the start of the Week 0’s this week, it has become even more apparent that the autonomous period of the match, where robots are coded to move independently, is essential to winning a match. The programming team is putting most of their focus into perfecting our auto codes, making and refini

This is a very exciting week for Chicken Bot Pie! With the build team having finished the physical components of our robot, our programming team is working hard to get our robot up and running before our Knight Krawler week zero competition on February 28.
