Oregon State FTC Championship 2022

 State was amazing! We practiced our presentation again Friday night and Saturday morning before our judging session Saturday afternoon. We dressed in our team shirts and went to the venue. We found our booth and decorated and got the robot on the practice field to test autonomous. Our SOAR League trophies were waiting at our table so we got photos of all of us holding them!

Our alliance picks were challenging and in one round we faced the top two teams, but we were consistent and did our best until the plastic piece on the arm that held the spring broke. We scramble and repaired it over our lunch break and just in time for our next round. We ended the weekend ranked 13th out of 38.

We met and talked with some great teams and saw some fantastic robots! We are inspired to keep learning and be even better prepared next year and go after the Inspire Award to go tho Worlds!

Here are are Championship photos.

Freight Frenzy Meeting #42

 Meeting 42

DATE : 3/2/22

Agenda: Wall Runners and adding the Wrist

Attendees: Sean Pakros, Jessica Hawkinson, Skyler Firestone, Zeke Humber, Nate Humber, Coach Cynde and Mentor Dan Killeby

Notes: We finished attaching the Arm spring and the wiring for the linear servo. We may need to tighten the string on the arm a little. Sean worked on resetting the claw settings and programming the claw servo.

We all stood up and did a run of the presentation, we need to run it frequently to get the order and wording down. We will re do the presentation boards this weekend.

We learned from the school today that the School Board has agreed to buy our second robot! We may go ahead and buy the Control Hub because of the problems with ours. That way we can get the original repaired or replaced. We are using the second Drive Hub and it is working so we can send the first one for repair now.

Coach has ordered new fogless glasses for the championship and we talked about scheduling and meals. We may try to go to OMSI Saturday afternoon!
