students trained in Solidworks™

The Glorious Remote Control - The Keys
to the Kingdom
With less than two weeks
until test drive day on the
competition floor, the
Build and Design Team
works to get the robot's
arm in place and
functional. It takes
precision in design and
wiring to give it the
strength needed to
complete the task
assigned.
The calculations have been
verified and the nuts and
bolts tightened. It's now time
for our own test drive up the
prototype ramp before
Practice Drive Day on the
20th. Will our 'bot be the one
to beat? We are certain of it!
Safety First !!
Even this group needs a break from designing and building!
