We have MORE parts! And mentors!

We've found more great friends among the FRC teams in Franklin's Metal Beavers, team 1432.

Along with a large amount of parts that they've lent us for BunnyBot, they've offered to be our mentors, which will give us a head start at knowing what we're doing when January 3rd hits.  They've invited us to their committee meeting this Thursday, 6pm at the pizza place on 6250 SE Foster Road, to discuss terms of mentorship, establish what we need and what they expect from us, etc.

Not too much else to write today, other than we have only a week to finish our bunnybot, so we have to get as much as we can done in the time we have.  Luckily, we now have a decent amount of parts from helpful teams, and I think we can make it!

We have parts!

Along with the basic frame we acquired some time ago, we now have most of the electronic parts we need for a basic robot.  Big thanks go to the Lincoln team for letting us borrow these, we'd have slim hope of being able to get a robot together in time otherwise!!

 

We also have some wheels, and as of now, one hundred 1/4-20 1/2" bolts, with matching nuts.  I picked these up on the way home from the hardware store near my house, and found that the prices at said store are fairly cheap, something we should keep in mind, as at least three members live quite close.

 

Because the scrimmage is next Friday, Kevin and I will be taking some extra time duting the free period we share to work on it.  If anyone else has a free 8th period they can join us.  If anyone has a different period free and would like to help, leave a comment on this post, or talk/send an email to Kevin, Zeno, or I.

 

Once we have a moving robot, it would be a good idea to drive it around during lunch, before school, etc, to raise awareness about the existance of our club!
