Throughout the last 2 weeks, Team 930 has been working hard to complete the competition robot. Something we have been doing differently this season is releasing recap videos for the last few weeks, with some of our videos getting over 2,000 views. We encourage everyone to check out our youtube channel with this link to view some clips of our students in action (Team 930 - YouTube). Our drive team has been practicing various game scoring strategies, to give an example they’ve been shooting into the amp with our Kitbot. Overall, our sub-teams have been hard at work to complete the robot these last 2 weeks.

The electromechanical team has been fabricating most of the parts at our facility and at the high school. They used the lathe to make different hex shafts. They also used the CNC machine to make different plates for the turret carriage. They painted steel plates for the turret and elevator. We fixed errors and ethernet issues for the shooter prototype.

The programming team has been focusing on various functions in the past couple of weeks. We are getting ourselves ready to test our completed robot in a few weeks. We have been working to update our codebase with new tools for the 2024 season. We have also been working on implementing April Tag tracking as well as game piece detection.

These past few weeks, the business team has been kept busy. Since new businesses have agreed to partner with us, we have updated our sponsor banner. The sponsor banner gets displayed in the pit during competitions and helps other teams identify us and our sponsors. The business team has also been working on the weekly update videos for the youtube channel, which can be viewed with the link above. We have updated the website with our new sponsors and made thank you and update posts to our social media accounts.

Our FIRST impact team has been working hard partnering with the business team to work on our FIRST Impact video showing how we have impacted our community with our various outreach events. Along with that, we’ve revised our writing materials for our FIRST impact script and various elements needed for our video.

The strategy sub-team has been working on our scouting app and where it stores the data. They put our scouting app BEAR scouts on all of the tablets. We got our test data into databases and got google sheets set up for all the competitions. We organized the strategy bin and worked on making the SSIS package.
