Final size from that day

At this point, the construction of our robot is well under way. We are preparing for the qualifying tournaments coming up in 2013. Our robotic arm construction is coming along very well. We had a slight delay when we decided to redo the arm, but we are now continuing progress on our newly improved arm. Programming with the new arm is also under way, and we are calibrating the controller and preparing our program using RobotC to interact with the controller and the robot. We have not yet started autonomous programming.
These pictures show how our building efforts have been coming along.

Yes. We've started the building process. The top of the robot is still in development, and we'll keep you updated with our status.

Testing.

Yup, and this is a test to see if everything we post on the blog gets updated on Facebook and Twitter.

We've just visited the seminars at the FIRST Robotics Competition kick-off at Central Connecticut State University. Here are some pictures of our day there. The whole team couldn't make it, but we had key players show up. Competition is starting soon!
