The 2010 scrimmage and practice weekend will be occurring at the lab on February 20 and 21st. Teams 254 and 1868 will be opening up their labs with an 80% size playing field and official field elements for teams from around the Bay Area to come and use.

As week five comes to a close, the robot is taking shape.  Wiring is almost complete and manufacturing will be done in a few days for final assembly during the first half of week six.  Week six will be busy, trying to manufacture all of the parts to build the robot.

For the second half of week six, we will practice and host our annual practice weekend and scrimmage on the practice field with official field elements in our lab.  The field elements have arrived and are almost completely assembled.  Teams from around the bay area will be in to test out their robots and practice for competition on February 20 and 21.

The half way point of the build season has come and passed and we are hard at work to complete the robot before the deadline.  The robot frames have returned from chassis and are awaiting final assembly, which will occur during weeks five and six.  The robot design has been finalized, and the CAD is being detailed.

Preparations have begun for our annual end of build season scrimmage and practice weekend.  We will be hosting the practice in our lab with the official playing field elements from FIRST.

As week three rolls around, the pace quickens around the Cheesy Poof Lab.

Design work continued on ball manipulation systems and tower suspension systems.  These designs are going through hundreds of iterations to yield the simplest and most effective design.

Manufacturing continues at a rapid pace.  The drivetrain parts have been mostly manufactured and are awaiting final assembly.  As parts start to return from sponsors, the robot begins to take shape at a basic level.
