After one week of FIRST STEAMWORKS, Team Dave’s season is well on it’s way! We attended the Kickoff event at Woodland Christian High School, where our new members learned about CAD, presenting Chairman’s, strategy, and of course, building robots. Meanwhile, some of our mentors and senior students led some of these very sessions. The build team has successfully created prototypes for all robot mechanisms, and the entire robot has been CADed. We have sent the design to our sponsor Melitron, and are waiting for sheet metal from them so we can begin assembly of our practice and competition robots. We’ve made good use of former robots, dismantling and salvaging the parts we need.
The admin team has also been hard at work, completing our Chairman’s executive summary, and making excellent progress on the business plan and business plan executive summary. We have also begun to brainstorm ideas for the video and essay, and plan to begin both in the week to come.
Thanks to our dedicated parents, construction of a practice field is moving quickly! We hope to have it up and running in time for our practice bot. In the coming weeks, we’ll be keeping you updated with more blog posts, as well as Tweets and Facebook posts. You can follow us by searching for Team 3683 on Facebook or @team3683 on Twitter. We’re excited to see how our next 5 weeks will progress!
