BUILD SEASON WEEK 5 POVS

As a part of the electronics committee, I have learned about how crucial it is to communicate with other committees. Although I did have some struggles with trying to keep everyone on board, I learned how to effectively and succinctly collaborate with people outside of electronics, which is a great life skill. I enjoy working with others and that makes build season more enjoyable. Next week, I definitely look forward to seeing a finished robot!

Ameera Chughtai Class of 2022

This week in electronics, we finished both our horizontal and vertical boards. One challenge that we faced was trying to figure out how to mount our vertical board. We tested many prototypes but eventually found that using extrusion would be the best solution. Next week, I look forward to mounting all of our components onto our boards and assembling them onto the real robot.

Ahlyssa Santillana Class of 2021

I spent a lot of this week working with my teammates to debug code, though we faced many challenges along the way. For example, the program would stop running if it wasn't detecting any vision targets, and occasionally the distance the program read between the camera and the vision targets was infinity. However, with a lot of hard work and questions to our mentors, we eventually fixed these errors and had lots of fun while doing it.

Angela Zheng Class of 2020

I spent a lot of time organizing and creating gifts for our mentor Valentine’s Day party. I learned a lot about design and communication with leaders and other members of the team. My committee is also putting together our team's giveaways, bows, and buttons. Build season has been fun, and I look forward to seeing the team’s finished product.
