Throughout the second week of build for our 2012 FIRST robot, we continued to innovate and improve on our designs and strategies for the robot. Tuning our roller system and a simulation feed system, we did a substantial amount of testing to see how we could improve our design for when we build the final bot.

The field team began constructing a replica of the FIRST field that could be used for practice, working long hours and nearly finishing the complete test field. The programming and CAD teams continued to work on the computing and electronics of the robot, and the marketing and website team made progress in social media and photo sharing methods.

Members of engineering teams tested the shooter and feed systems for the robot on Friday in the gym. While the shooter worked well, sending the balls far and fast, the team continues to add to and perfect their systems to make our bot as good as possible.

Dozens of us Adambots gathered on Saturday to continue to work on designing, building, marketing, animating, testing and computing, highlighted by another successful test of the shooter. Through our hard work, we have made excellent progress.
