This is a long post sit tight.
This was an amazing year of robotics for our team. Last year we had few people on the team, this years team was bigger and better. We had lots of learning experiences all the way from a parade to a coemption. First big thing the team did was a parade, yea a parade. It was pretty cool but we had some problem during the parade like driving and reloading simultaneously. We ran out of CO2 while shooting T-shirts so we started to throw them by hand. We also had to go through moving room locations but it was a bit bigger and better location. We have been moved to the Tech Wing of our school. Little bit later in the year we participated in a FRC practice day to see what skills we can learn before the season starts fully. We did a 2 hour robot Drivetrain practice and bumper building. It was so much fun. Fast forward like a 3 weeks to a month we went to a starting event for FRC and got our box of parts.
The box of parts included a drive train, battery, and some other parts. We got started on a build design before the actual build process so we had a Shark Tank kinda presentation. All the ideas were close enough to call the same so we smashed all the ideas together and started to build. Build starts and we have the drivetrain done in almost 2 hours. During the season we got the robot done over time. Finally the competition, the moment we all are waiting for. Half the team goes and sets up the pit and the other half did something. The next 3 days we had a great completion and exploring lacrosse. Sadly we ranked 53/53 😥 but that’s besides the point, what matters is that we had a fun learning experience. fast forwards a little bit we had a room rearrangement. That wasn’t to long ago. probably 3 weeks since the date of this post.
Remember the parade we were in? I bet you do, we got talked to by the person in charge of Winona Steamboat Days Parade asked us to be in there parade. Since we got that news 5 something months ago we got a mini 4-wheeler and were going to put our 6-Barreled T-shirt cannon on that and make it remote controlled. Boom your up to date with the WinonaRamhawks. Oh and here’s a video of everything we just said. (Don’t question the videos background music)
