Weeks 1-3

week one

This week, our robotics team has started the official season.  We started building two robot bases in case of any rising issues. We used rhino and raptor tracks that both use tank drive. We are using the rhino tracks for the robot and the raptor tracks for any testing or trouble-shooting.

week two

In week two, we were building up from the bases. Programming is working on getting new code for certain aspects of the robot. We started to build arms to control game pieces and worked on vision tracking with a camera on the robot.

week three

This week media team worked hard to make a mascot head for our team. It was a extensive process of several layers of paper maché on large balloons. After we had strong enough layers, fabric was attached and nose, eye, and stitch designs were added.

weeks 4-6

week four

Week four was crucial for us. Programming worked on speed controllers and perfected the vision tracking. The raptor track was wired and the robot has continued to grow from the base. It is starting to look competition ready!

week five

We had our open house this week! The Wrench Warmers were able to show the community how our team functions. We had around a hundred guests in attendance and attendees got to drive the robot and see game pieces built by us. 

week six

This week we had our final practices. On Friday, we had an seven hour practice to perfect our robot before the Week Zero competition. Our programming, electrical, and build teams worked hard to put the finishing touches on our robot.
