2020 Week One POVs

During the first week of Build Season, I learned how to prototype. My favorite part of this week was learning how to use the 3D printer. It was also interesting to see how CAD is used to design the 3D printed parts. This week has been exciting because I was able to see the progress everyone from each committee has made with their projects. I look forward to learning much more throughout the rest of Build Season.

This year's kick-off, as a sophomore and the team's rookie liaison, was a whole new experience compared to last year's, when I was a freshman. My favorite part was using my experience from freshman year to help this year's rookies have a smooth transition into build season. What helped me personally understand the new game during kick-off, was the mock match, where we set up a life-size field in the gym and pretended to be robots. I was really able to comprehend how the game worked by playing it myself. I can't wait to take on this new challenge during the rest of build season.

Week one of build season has been a learning experience for all of us. One aspect that I thoroughly enjoyed was prototyping possible mechanisms for this year's challenge, Infinite Recharge. I learned about new mechanisms, specifically a flywheel, that we could include on the robot. My favorite part was brainstorming possible designs for our t-shirt. Being in a new leadership position, I am looking forward to designing the shirt and getting to know my committee’s new members.
