The Test

Starting to fit and form bumpers.

This week was finals week for the CyberKnights, so school took precedence for most of the evenings. We shortened Monday, cancelled Tuesday, and added an optional Friday. Most mentors used the free time to kick back and relax. Or, catch up on work. At least that's what I did.

Pretty much says it all....

Yep, that about sums things up. As we head into week 4, we need to re-tune the energy and effort, and impart a sense of urgency to the students. (Or we can build an EveryBot and just drive practice for the next 4 weeks. ... I wonder how that would work...)

Snowpocalypse Now

Snow and ice - not at the lab.

I personally hibernated at my house, and missed 2 days in the lab this week. Fortunately, Slack works, and all members of the team were able to keep up to date and make progress in their respective areas. This week was about refinement, starting "real" CAD, and getting the first chassis finished and into software's hands.

The Plan

The team pouring over information just after kick-off.

At the start of a season, it's always good to have a plan. Not that it will get followed exactly, but, I think it's at least nice to have. So, what's our plan for week 1, and how are we doing?

Kick-Off Preparation

Going to be spending fewer days outside for the next few months...

The most important few days of the season are upon us. I actually just recently had this conversation with my dad over winter break - how do we kick-off? 

2020 - Infinite Change

Major summer project - cleaning and re-organization!

It feels like it's been quite a long summer and fall, yet we still have so much we want to get finished before build season starts. At the end of last year, CyberKnights shared that we would be getting a new head coach. This summer, we were joined by Stephanie Morrison - new head coach of the CyberKnights, and immediately we started focusing on what changes we should make to become even more complete and competitive for the upcoming season.
