Day 36

Today was a very good day for the TechTigers. The end effector was assembled and now just needs to be attached to the arm. Once the arm spacers arrive, the arm will be completed. The final robot came back from the school's autobody shop - its looks very clean and professional. The completed animation was unvealed to the team! We are very proud of our animnation team and are very happy with the final product. Awesome job, 1251!


A busy group

Video from yesterday when the arm was being tested - the quality isn't great, but its clear enough to see what's going on...

Today was a good day for the TechTigers. The arm was attached to the practice robot and running by the end of the day. Only a few aspects need to be fine-tuned and the arm will be fully operational. Next task: the end effector.

Day 33 and 34

This weekend was a very productive one for the TechTigers. Many of the kinks in the drive system has been worked out, as well the majority of the pieces for the arm have been completed. The practice robot has been painted, and the real robot will be coming back around Tuesday. Saturday coming is the Swamp Thing Scrimmage - more details will follow closer to the day. Great job, 1251!
