Day 27: Prototyping, Manufacturing & Design

Prototyping

Today, the prototyping group worked on their minibot design.  The minibot is coming together.  However, we have hit a setback in that one of our motors has burned out and we need a replacement.

Manufacturing

The manufacturing team was hard at work today machining a number of plates and lathes for the robot.

The robot frames were dropped off at the powder coat sponsor early this morning and should be completed tomorrow.

A team of students marked out the locations for the embroidered team numbers on the bumpers.  They will be embroidered beginning tomorrow.

Design

Today the design team worked on the design for the bumpers and the control board.  We are hoping to get the control boards cut on a CNC router but are looking for potential sponsors.
