Currently, the only dependency aspect is waiting on team feedback. Next time, we would like guidance on the most effective way to present and communicate design choices to the rest of our team, like maybe a Google Form to vote on what design we should keep or suggestions of design ideas and improvements.
Introduction The preseason of Robotics is an extended time period that provides training for the team along with important skill building, strategy development, and testing. During this time, the team focuses on improving their skills in CAD modeling, manufacturing, code development, and branding. Each of our team's departments has been working on specific skills related to their field. In the design and manufacturing department, the team modeled robot parts in a CAD program and stocked inventory for the upcoming build season. Meanwhile, the software team worked on modifying and adjusting the code of a smaller robot to simulate and learn coding for the team's future robot. The Team The Charge robotics team is an award-winning team at Cherokee High School that competes in the FIRST Robotics Competition. The team consists of three major departments, Design & Fabrication, Software, and Branding & Marketing. Each of these departments works toward a common goal of designing,...
