We’ve pretty much finished our chassis; all we have to do is add wheels. We’ve started our belt system frame by tapping and threading some aluminum profiles with T-channels. We also added lower C-channels for where the wheels are going to go and looked over the kinect and how it can detect balls on the field.

Today we started constructing the frame for our chassis; we put a couple motors on to feel the weight. We also started a good bit of our BOM(Build of Materials). Tomorrow we will be looking over the kinect, starting the frame for our belt system, and finishing our frame.

On game day Sunday, we decided to do some fundraising. We bought about 350 dollars in a variety of candy. We had two groups sitting outside of both sides of the Shoppers entrance in Parkville. Yes. We were cold, but we persevered for two hours in the weather. We made about 300 dollars, almost breaking even. We will be going out to sell the rest of the candy before the Superbowl.

Today with very few people and little access to our resources and materials at the school we could only get so much done, but we are now ready to start building! We created and finalized full scale designs and reworked our prototypes to get over the barrier. Monday, when we meet again, we will start the building of our actual robot! Tomorrow, Team 007 along with the help of the soldiers from the army will be selling candy for fundraising. We will update you on how that goes tomorrow.

To finish off week two of our build season we built a one wheel shooting prototype and tested it. We completed technical drawings of the shooting system and finished the CAD model of our Archimedes Screw. We updated and added to the website with a weekly update. Started getting the Chairman’s Award ready and did some more brainstorming for outreach. Well Team 007 never sleeps so we will be working again Saturday. We will also be meeting Sunday to do some fundraising.
