Day 13

Times have surely changed from the days I use to run around the shop playing hide and seek as a young boy. The team has come a long way, something I'm very very proud to be a part of! Today we ordered our first CNC mill, something many people didn't believe was possible. I was always looked at funny when I would say people who say nay to an idea, just make me want to accomplish it that much more. So thank you to everyone who doubted us, you're the reason we have this wonderful machine in our shop where we'll be able to craft elegant parts and harbor innovation through-out the minds of all the students that walk through our shop. We're still not there yet, there's still much to be done, but we're just proving that hard work pays off, it always does!

At the meeting today we tried another material for the intake roller, it seemed to work really well, the durability is at question now though. I believe that some further testing will help us figure that out! We also finished revamping the prototype robot, it's all wired nicely and with some extra speed controllers to test an assortment of prototypes! Here's the pictures and video from today!
Yay for orange!
