Infinite Recharge #8: Day 28-30

Welcome to Week 4!!

Our Robot is beginning to look more like a robot and less like a few pieces of metal bolted together! These past few days have consisted of a lot of assembly work, meanwhile the rest of the Mechanical Team has been working hard on fabrication. Our Electrical team is finishing up the board design and wiring diagrams, and will hopefully start putting the board together within the next few meetings, all whilst managing the 3D printers. Our Programming Team has been working very hard on perfecting the subsystems already written, so that they can maximize their time on the robot.

This week, Business has continued editing the Chairman’s Essay, and has continued to do planning for the Chairman’s presentation. The t-shirt design is being finalized, and media is continuing to make progress with the technical binder. The vlog is being filmed (next vlog will be released in a week!), and Business Team has nearly finished editing the business plan.

I mentioned in a previous post that we will be sharing the form for team apparel on here, but we have since had an update that we would like to share. As many team’s have learned, the 2020 FIRST season sponsor: Lucas Film, has allowed team’s to implement the Star Wars character’s and associated media onto team apparel for the season, BUT team’s may not sell such merchandise. Because of this, our 2020 season shirts and hoodies will not be for sale outside of the team. If anyone is interested in trading with members of our team, please reach out to us on Instagram (@frc2643) and we will do our best to find someone interested in trading.
