Robot

Despite a week of snow days, our team has made impressive progress on our competition robot! We’ve been hard at work assembling all our mechanisms, ensuring everything is in place and functioning smoothly. A key focus has been meeting weight and height requirements while keeping our design efficient and competition-ready.

In addition, we’ve been wiring the robot, testing our code, and fine-tuning our auto-alignment for precision on the field.

Beyond the robot itself, our scouting team has been developing our scouting platforms and app while analyzing match footage to build strategic insights.

Even with the snow, our momentum hasn’t slowed—stay tuned as we dive into the final stretch of build season!
