Week 4 :: Jan 27-Feb 2
During Week 4 of our build season, Hilo attracted a massive storm spanning over the entire week, and then some! Due to the weather our team wasn’t able to meet as frequently because of unfavorable driving conditions. On top of that our auto-shop, where we build, and the storage shed, where we keep all our robotics gear, flooded! Thankfully, though, a few team members had decided to stop by to work for a short amount of time, and were able to help defer the flooding by digging a storm ditch, also saving some books in the (attaching) classroom from some severe water damage! What a crazy experience that was! Despite all that, we were able to accomplish mounting the wheels, and electrical wires.
Build/Design Team:
During the week the build team worked really hard on finishing their chassis, and by the very end of the week we managed to get our base driving!
Animation/Inventor Team:
Due to the weather, school was canceled and we were unable to use the facilities. However, were so determined to finished what we started that some of us went through flooded roads to meet. At this point, we finished our first scene and began finalizing our second.
Programming/Electrical:
This week the programming and electrical team finished the wiring for our control board, and completed the the programming necessary for it to work properly.
