What competitions will you be attending? Which of the ones that you listed are you looking forward to the most?
We will be attending the Finger Lakes Qualifier, Albany Academies Qualifier, and the Corning Qualifier! We are looking forward to the Albany event in particular as we rarely compete there.
How will you be organizing your team at competitions?
Everyone on our team can CAD and has input on the design of the robot. Often a group of students take on the majority of the CAD work. Everyone manufactures and builds the robot.
How would you describe your design process? How many options/strategies do you compare? How do you visualize your designs before building?
We started the year by trying to come it with as many ideas as possible. Then we settled on our favorites and began prototyping and CADing them. We CAD our robot in full before moving onto manufacturing. We manufacture and build our robot very quickly, then move on to programming and drive practice.
