Team 3082: Weeks Three and Four Update Design: Week three placed a big emphasis on spacing out areas for each of the robot’s subsystems, so we made a CAD with the set spacing. Over these two weeks, we also approved designs for, sketched and finished CADs for our shooter, power cell hopper, and intake. Prototyping: We mocked up a quick intake prototype to test spacing and its ability to pick up power cells over the bumpers. It worked very well, and we used this setup to refine

Team 3082: Week Two Update Mechanical (Prototyping): Our mechanical subteam has been focusing on refining our prototypes for the power cell (yellow ball) carrier and shooter. Currently, we have four power cell carrier designs and two shooter designs to pick from. We additionally set up a test field to compare the accuracy of our shooters side-by-side. Our goal going into week three is to choose so that we can refine, CAD, and build our official robot mechanisms. Mechanical (f

Team 3082: Week One Update Kickoff: On January 4th, the 2020 FIRST Robotics season finally began. Our team met from 8:45am-4:00pm to see the game reveal, strategize, look through the rules, and plan our Week 1 priorities. The Game: This year’s game is FIRST: Infinite Recharge. In the game, there is a tall structure with 3 large openings to score. Additionally, there is a color wheel that the robot must spin in order to score more points. At the end of the match, there is a pe
