Day 39

Today was an exceptional day for the TechTigers. The robot was run outside on the carpet with the rack assembled to quasi-simulate a game situation. The runs went well, with minor kinks worked out along the way. Tomorrow is the Swamp Thing [FRC team 179] Scrimmage in Riviera Beach. We greatly look forward to testing the robot on a real field setup, as well as seeing what other teams have been doing for the past 6 weeks. Check back tomorrow for updates about that event. Awesome, 1251!

Day 38

Today was a constructive day for the TechTigers. Work was continued on the robot, the a piston being added to the arm for support and the drive system tested for any obvious issues. Below is a clip of one of the tests. Excellent job, 1251!

Day 37

Today was an excellent day for the TechTigers. The marketing team has been working very hard on compiling the videos from throughout the season, the crate team has been getting the crate together, and the website team has been working hard on the website. Today was also the Broward Counnty Science Fair setup, an event we TechTigers have been helping with for the past 4 years. Representatives from the Dillard SigmaCats [FRC team 108] were also there. It was a great experience that we intend to continue for many years to come.

As for the robot: It is finished! All the parts for the robot are together and [for the most part] operational - now for the finetuning, troubleshooting, and practicing. More details to come in the following days. Good job, 1251!
