Extended Build Season Update

The theme of this past week for Skynet students was...encoders! Mechanical and programming teamed up to finalize our encoder research and installation process as after our first competition, we recognized how vital a reliable and safe installation of encoder sensors are. 

In addition to the finalization of encoders, mechanical is continuing to improve our manipulator designs and programming, is prepared to fine tune those adjustments in our code. 

Scouting spent this last week analyzing how our new scouting system was perceived at the competition. So far, this has been the strongest scouting system we have had as a team! They also added some new improvements on the user side to make it more detailed. 

Safety has been preparing the procedures for what will come in the post-competition and 2019 seasons. Our marketing team is eager to demonstrate our team's Gracious Professionalism (a key principle in robotics) by providing support to teams at our Lake Oswego competition. 

Watch our Robot Compete!

If only we could go back in time...

Although our robotics team has yet to invent a way to reverse time, you can still watch our matches from our CAIS competition. Click here to access a playlist of the CAIS competition.

CAIS Competition Recap

The leadership team of Skynet took a seat at a large conference table Saturday morning across from our robotics lab. With two weeks left of build season, we needed to finalize a manipulator design and make some serious decisions. So there we were, sitting across from one another to only wonder how far we could make it in the competition without a fully developed manipulator…..

This was our team two weeks ago and fast forward past a week of cancelled practices due to weather, to our first competition, and we become part of the top 8 alliances of week 1 competition!

Competing in the quarter finals could not have been possible without our mentors and the aspirations of every Skynet team member coming together.

Something new this year was our pit crew. Skynet members jumped into action and were ready to solve any problem that our robot encountered, allowing our drive team to focus, collaborate and compete hard (with gracious professionalism of course!)

Programming developed complex autonomous programs that were mastered at a high success rate.

Scouting has the strongest system our team has ever had and it could be a potential solution to other teams and their scouting as well.

Every team department has made some monumental steps this season and we still have five weeks to go!
