Three... Is a magic number. :)

I'm pretty sure this season is moving more quickly than any other.  With all of the snow days, it's a wonder that we still are ahead of any other season.  Our prototype chassis has been newly updated with limit switches, hopefully making the arm control system more effective.  Mechanical is also making other changes to the prototype.  The arm is too heavy for the motors, so they are working on redesigning it in a less heavy fashion, which will give us an arm that can lift without slipping.  We also proved our tube-grabbing mechanism to be ineffective, so the mechanical kids are working on a more efficient grabbing system, one that won't just push the tubes around the field.  Electrical has once again cleaned their end of the room, waiting to be able to wire the rest of the robot.  They bought some way-cool LED lights, doing what they do best; spending money.  The admins, as always, are incredibly hard at work, improving the organization of the team and starting ideas for the awards to be given out during the competition season.  Web has redesigned the layout of the website, making it much more appealling to the eye.  The programming crew is always busy learning new techniques and working out kinks to mak ean effective drive system.  The entire group is in a state of constant learning, which is very commendable.  The team is moving forward at a rapid pace, despite the many build cancellations.  Hopefully by the end of next week we will have a name for our robot.  The name ideas range from silly ones like Snookie and The Situation to The Cyclone and Spider.  With the banning of diseases from the name pool, this year is sure to bring an interesting name to our wonderful robot.  If you have any name ideas, comment below and I'll be sure to put them up on the board.  Happy Building!
