Week 10 - Chasing

Would we be SAFE at the end of our second event?


Another short just-under-two-weeks passed between our first event at Glacier Peak and our second at Sundome in central Washington. Also I promise this post will be shorter than the previous post. Just two sections to cover - our event preparation, and the event itself. Like the hands of a clock, let's spin through Weeks 9 and 10! (Students: Clocks used to be analog and contained multiple overlapping dials - called hands - to visualize time.)

Week 8 - Preparation and Execution

Glacier Peak Competition!


Depending on the moment, it feels like kick-off was either just yesterday, or an eternity ago. From that first livestream, watching Robot-in-3-Days, following Open Alliance threads (including the EveryBot!), designing, manufacturing, (re-designing), assembling, breaking, testing, and tuning - we've now completed our first competition event. Re-typing all that, I'm going to say it's been a long build season. Let's pull up a comfy chair by the fireplace, and enjoy our Week 8 preparations and the Glacier Peak Competition.
