Week 4: Angular Momentum

Time passes so quickly...

We officially approved 90% of the robot CAD, and can start manufacturing parts! Wahoo!

Week 3: Tempo

 At the start of build season, we set an aggressive schedule, on purpose. Push ourselves to achieve it, but know that we'll find things, and some targets may slide.

Week 2: Adaptation, Improvisation

Week 2 is all about refinement - taking our prototypes, making sure we get specific data from them. (Making sure we write down the specific data... oops.)

Week 1: The New Shiny

 

On Jan 8th, the FIRST Robotics Competition game for the 2022 season was unveiled to the 3000+ teams across the globe.

We're Done, Redux!

Boop... boop... ... boop!

And, that's a wrap. For real this time! Our robot skills challenge videos for 2021 are submitted, the "official" season with the robot has come to an end.

One final, last time, I promise - what a strange year. No competition, no fanfare. With a middle of the day Thursday deadline, we basically had a Slack post saying "Grats, we submitted!", and with that, the season was over.

What a year though - so proud of the students, mentors, school, and well, most of humanity anyway. Great job CyberKnights, I believe it is now naptime.

Bring-Down to Bring-Up

Getting set up for the challenge runs.
And it looks good with the non-legal black bumpers!

One week to go in this season. Ugh, I hate to say it again, but what a weird seasons this has been, still. Simultaneously short (as always), and yet it's also felt so, so long. Now, at the end of week 12, the final video submissions for our at home challenges are due with only 5 working days left.

Like replacing a bent drive axle between elimination matches, this is coming down to the wire.

Red and Black

Robot coming together!

Whew, 11 weeks in the books. For us, we've been able to access our facilities for the past 3 weeks. Still 2 weeks to go.

Will we finish in time?

Dun, dun dun...
