Week 2
On the second week of the build season, we just finished brainstorming, and prototyping our ideas, Once that was done, we finalized our drive idea, because we believe that in this years game of stronghold the drive base is very important to overcome the obstacles given throughout the game, and it is important for us to pass majority of them.
Then came the fun part; BUILDING! The team had the chance to finally start building the drive train, and after fixing all the kinks, or problems we encountered, the team had a drive base. Simultaneously, we had our field team re-create the different obstacles of the game, so we can practice and test the the durability, and effectiveness of it.
While we had the drive base team work on that, we also continued testing out intakes, and adding on to the design of the robot, such as, what to use to overcome certain obstacles, like the draw bridge. Overall we were still in the design process, thinking of the best way to accomplish the goals that were given for this game.
