Girls of Steel FTC 9820 and 9821: 2021-2022 Update #2 Team Progress

 

Throughout the last month, since the last time we posted, we have made much progress!

On our robots, we have made many plans and measurements about what attachments we are going to add that will help us gain more points during the Freight Frenzy game. We have also begun the construction of our robots, one for each team (Hopper and Hypatia). So far, we have already finished our chassis (the bases) and added wheels! We’ve also learned a lot about the electronic and programming side of our robot. Take a look at some cool  pictures of our designs!

On a personal note, we have grown very much as a team. Our friendship is immeasurable; it’s something that is much harder to build than a machine, although that may be much more impressive. As people learn together, they grow together, and that’s ever present when you can look around and you can’t find someone you aren’t friends with. For example, we explored the building and during our break-time, we found hoola hoops. These have become a staple of our group. We have a lot of fun here!
