Week 3 In Review And The Flu

Bill teaching Lexi and Krisztina how to use the CNC mill
This week has been like a zombie apocalypse. The flu virus attacked several of our team members, taking them out for the week. There are a few lucky ones and we must stay clear of those infected, we don’t want a recurrence of the ‘Solidworks Sweatshop Day’ where all of the victims in the room became sick after spending the day CADing in an infected zone. There are only a few of us who haven’t gotten sick, we survivors must stick together to survive. We must carry the future of The Holy Cows.

We non-sick people have gotten several things done, PR especially (because we were not in the infected room). With so few days left until the submission deadline we have been combining all of our energy to finish the Woodie Flowers Awards. We have a good drafts of most of our awards, all that’s left to do is go through revising and editing everything to make it worthy of our standards. PR is also putting together a contact list for teams in San Diego to see if any teams would like help with their Chairman’s Submission or presentation.

Engineering has started fabricating parts for our robot for this season. After spending the previous weeks prototyping, we feel fairly happy with the design that we have come up with. Some of the kids got to go to the machine shop to fabricate the earlier mentioned parts. We can’t wait to see what the future weeks bring us because once the parts are complete, possibly Wednesday, the craziness begins. Bring it on Build Season, we are ready to finish strong.
