Team Spudnik Competition Update 1

Ahoy, mateys! We're at competition! I was gonna do more frequent updates today, but I wasn't able to due to lack of wi-fi. So here you are: Day 1 of competition in pictures! (sorry for the LQ pictures...I had to use a bad camera. It'll be better tomorrow)


A semi-bird's-eye-view of the competition pit area.


Finishing up a rig on the cart to keep the robot still.



Our snazzy banner!


Cameron workin' on a bumper.


Putting on the aforementioned bumper.


Hey, look! Pneumatics!


Doing some work on electrical and pneumatic components.


The camera, it's attached!


Under-the-bot pneumatics things.


The new shooter, ready to be put on, mostly.


Getting some help from anther team with our programming.


HEY LOOK THE ROBOT HANGS ON A BAR IT GETS POINTS THIS IS MAGICAL (expect a video of it getting up there tomorrow)


That's just a basic summary of all the shenanagans that took place for us at competition on the first day. We got a whole bunch of stuff done. Our robot is now capable of lifting itself up and scoring, and it has a camera, and it can theoretically shoot when we get it put on. Schweet! Expect more constant updates about the actual matches tomorrow.
