Hall of Fame Sent Out

Today, the hall of fame was sent out to the print shop for final printing.  We have decided to go with a printed hall of fame display for increased portability and professionalism.

The 2011 Hall of Fame Display (Lo-Resolution Version).

Above is the final layout for the display.  It will be printed on four 33″ wide panels each 80″ tall.  Great job to everyone who helped, especially Ryan for leading the project.

VEX World Championship

A large delegation from Team 254 traveled to Orlando today for the VEX Robotics World Championship.  Follow the action at robotevents.com with live webcasts and score updates from all of the divisions.

Teams 254A, 254B, 254D, 254E and 254H will be competing.

Minibot Ramp

Over the past week or so, we have been experimenting with a ramp-style minibot deployment.

After taking inspiration from some other teams including our friends on The Pink Team, we have determined that this is a potentially much faster method of minibot deployment.  Over the next few days, we will work to come up with a final design and begin manufacturing.

Shockwave Shipping Out

This weekend, several team members met at the lab to prepare Shockwave the T-Shirt Cannon for its upcoming appearances.  Shockwave will be traveling to Orlando for next week’s VEX world championship and to St. Louis for the FIRST World Chmpionship.  In preparation for this, we created vinyl decals for Shockwave and built a crate.  Shockwave will be shipped to Orlando tomorrow.
