Jan 19
Today the club finished building the basic drive train and finished building a prototype of the claw.
Jan 8
Today was the official kick-off for the 2011 FRC competition. The 1516 Robotics Team did an inventory check and brainstormed some possible robot solutions
Jan 5/6
Testing practice drive train and drive training.
Dec 15
Today, the club tested the new practice 6-wheeled drive train. Works amazing, high speed and high maneuverability.
Meeting Dates Changed
Robotics Club Meeting Days are now changed too Mondays and Wednesdays after school for now.
Nov 16
Today the club is continuing on assembling the drive train and building more VEX robots.
Nov 9th
Today the club is making the drive train to practice with to get ready for FRC.
Nov 2
Today the club took apart the FRC robot and built Vex robots. All thats left intact in a big piece is the frame.
Cal Game Results
Hey All! At Cal Games last weekend. We reach the quarter finals. Good start to the robotics season this year as to the reason we have a completely new team. Thank You to all that participated at the event.!

Congratulations to our mentor, Mr. John Korzick, for receiving TEACHER OF THE YEAR!
The expo went amazingly. For 30 minutes we were able to talk to students and parents about the program Engineering and Design Academy. It was a great way to tell the youth about the wonderful robotics programs in the SRVUSD. We were able to give them a glimpse of what they will be making in the future by bringing an underwater ROV and our FRC robot.

February 5
We put on the plaction wheels but the they didn't fit. Then we replaced them with rubber wheels. So far we have 4 wheel drive with all rubber wheels. The next step would be to design a shelf for the control system and battery. After that we can design a spinning mechanism to fire balls. If we have time we'll create a scissor lift to lift the robot.
We have a long way to go...
January 28
The 3rd week. What do we have?
- chassis works for both under and over
- chains for the wheels
What do we need to do?
- build a base in solidworks to hold the control board
- make prototype - horizontal spinner
- pneumatics kicker
- vertical spinner
- change the front wheels to rubber and the back wheels to plaction
- if we finish everything else in a reasonable time line... we'll make a scissor lift for the bonus at the end
- in short EVERYTHING!!!
If anyone would like to join the robotics club feel free!!!! We would like your help!!!! We will have a meeting tomorrow Friday, January 28. We have meetings every Monday and Wednesday unless stated otherwise.
January 22
Last day of finals!!! Now more time to work on the robot!!!
We have ordered some wheels with special traction and rubber wheels. We're probably going to use the plaction wheels with four wheel drive. We're also going to attempt to make a scissor lift with parts that we found outside the robotics room. We're still working out how to make the shooter and practically everything.
January 15
We have finished the bump and the tunnel. We're still working on the trident and the target.
On Monday we will start building our robot/prototype. We're trying to design a scissor lift with pneumatics.
January 13th
It's been 4 days since the announcement of this year's FRC game. So far we have built the ramp that would separate the different parts of the field. We're almost done with the tunnel.
At the moment, most of us decided that we will build a robot that can travel over the bumps...
