Iowa FRC Scrimmage:

On February 24th, many members of Team Neutrino attended the FRC Scrimmage at Valley High School hosted by FRC Team 6419 ICE! This event was a great opportunity for the team to test out and drive the robot on a full-sized field, as well as make improvements with the Autonomous code. Additionally, members attended a non-tech meeting and an Impact Award exchange, which allowed the team to discuss these topics and exchange advice with other teams. Team Neutrino was also able to help out Harlan Robotics, a team mentored by our team. Overall, this event was an excellent chance to prepare for the upcoming competitions!

Build Season Week 6

At the end of week 6, we are nearing bag day! The robot was able to catch, shoot, and pass the exercise ball on Friday, which is very exciting!!! On Saturday, our team will be in Cedar Falls participating in the Iowa scrimmage, and also in Des Moines participating in the Science Center of Iowa’s Women in Science event. We are anxious for bag day, but can’t wait for a well-deserved full night’s sleep!!

Build Season Week 5

This week, we accomplished A LOT. We tested the drive train, and ensured that it could make a smooth transition from one mode to another. Pneumatics were attached to the robots, powering the drive train and arms. We attached the arms and shooter to both robots. Our practice robot is extremely close to the finish line; with only one week left in the build season, we are quickly pulling all the pieces together!

Build Season Week 4

Team Neutrino was excited to work on the basic frames for the practice and competition robots this week. Another major goal for us this week was to wire the robot and secure all of the electrical components onto the frame. The deadline for the chairmen’s submission is quickly approaching; we are continuing to make progress on the essay, four collages, and the video.
