Season Review
We looked at our robot shooter design last year. (Belt shooter with 1:1 CIM gearing) We concluded that our design, although making shots, was inefficient. We discussed how we should have use an AndyMark 9015 motor to achieve higher speeds at less voltage and stall current. We also discuss rpm calculations opposed to percentage of available voltage. Very eye-opening session for the students.
Sponsorship
On October 28, I emailed an informational packet to the plant manager at the local Boise Cascade EWP Plant. I received a phone call back today and they are going to donate $500 to our team. Every little bit counts and we're making it there.
Will blog again soon
