It’s getting closer and closer to bag-and-tag day and here our build, programming, and business activities are moving along at a rapid pace as we near our deadlines. Due to mid-winter break we have a four day weekend and so we will be working non-stop until the robot is bagged on Tuesday.

All of the sub-teams have been meeting and have made a lot of progress in this final build week.

The Ball Shooter Team has been working hard to finish up before bag and tag day. We have completed the first shooter with only a few minor things to do left. We would also like to have the second shooter built soon after bag and tag day, if not before.

This week the Ball Acquisition Team has finished our part on the competition robot! We tested our mechanism and things have been running smoothly. We’ve started to help fabricate parts for the second robot.

The Programming Team has been rapidly testing and tuning the robot’s subsystems as they have become available. The majority of pickup, shooting, and robot vision have been tested successfully in isolation, with only integration of driver control and autonomous behavior remaining.

The Scouting Team reviewed the outline of the playbook and plan on finishing it within the next two weeks.

The Marketing Team has been working on the graphics for our robot, and on presentations we will be giving next Saturday about our team during a tour of our build space.

The Business Plan and Chairman’s Teams have uploaded their respective entries for the 2014 season!

The Digital Media Team is also working on their Media Plan for this season.

The Animation and Photo/Video Teams have been working on this year’s Chairman’s video, which will hopefully be done by next Saturday.

Stay tuned for more AdamBots updates and our robot reveal, coming soon!
