Parents Visit the Team

IMAG0189

Last night the team’s parents gathered together in order to obtain information on what it is that their children were going to be dogmatically working on for the next six weeks. During this one hour session, parents were told what the competition was going to be about and anything pertaining to it. We took this time to answer any questions that parents may be having and addressed any concerns. Through a video presentation and former robot display, parents became familiar with the FIRST robotics competition. This was a successful evening due to everyone getting informed whilst enjoying a wonderful time.

 

 

First Team Meeting

A new year, a fresh new start, Team 1635 starts their season with an introduction meeting. They welcomed new members, familiarizing them with the “Veterans”. As they gathered in the room that they would be working in for the next 6 weeks until competition, they introduced themselves to one another. There was a dialogue amongst everyone on what it was each member was interested in and what it was that they specialized in. As they discussed about what brought them to joining the team there was various answers but a common motive.This was a great opportunity for everyone to get to know one another and make new friends. In the end a team is meant to bring people with a common interest together and make something wondrous. That day was the official moment that diverse individuals became a team.This team left the school with an understanding of unity and the readiness to work. 

The Last Day – Progress Report of 18th February

“Unity is strength…when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved. The best teamwork comes from men who are working independently toward one goal in unison.” It was the last day of the season. After going through all the struggles, we are finally here. Now it’s the drive team’s turn to start practicing.

Progress Update of 2nd and 5th February

Testing the catapult in the school gym. We needed to adjust the angle of the shooter, find the starting point from the target and the height of the shooting target. It worked out pretty good and we made progress at the end of the day. Progress update of 2nd and 5th February.

Progress Update of 30th January

We already built the prototype robot and are done testing it, it worked pretty good. So now it’s time to modify  and make the actual robot. We recently started making our robot’s parts. Again, the pressure is on. One mistake and we are left behind, as the deadline is approaching. We learned from our mistake while building the prototype, so I hope we will build a hell of a robot now. Wish us luck.

Progress Update of 25th January

Progress update of 25th January.

We are working on the robot’s arm. We have the design, just have to mount everything to its place. Easier said than done. Cutting all the pieces precisely and putting them together in the exact points is lot harder than it looks like. Though there’s a lot of pressure, we have Mr.Gus on our back. If one thing goes wrong, the whole thing goes wrong.
