FIRST Build 2008


Through the build season team leaders send out what's called the AdamBots Newsletter. In the links below are modified versions (due to the amount of information we'd like to give to the public) that explain what we did each week and where we stand.

Week 1

An experimental weekend with lots of testing and prototyping. Concepts were developed for various aspects of the robot.

Week 2

Due to Paul's vacation we worked at our high school, Rochester Adams. Lots of different Sub-Teams got together for the first time.

Week 3

A promotional video was filmed and developed in hopes of gaining Continental's sponsorship and the Spirit Team held one held another meeting to discuss what they were going to do.

Week 4

Measurements were made for the shooter and designs for the arm and poker were coming closer to being finalized. Many other sub-teams made progress as well.

Week 5

The Programming Team developed an algorithm to keep the robot on a straight path and a group of alumni visited.

Week 6

The last weekend before the robot was shipped was spent finishing parts and mounting to the robot. Part of the Programming Team went to Android Industries with our base to test some code.
