first robotics competition team 1896
Introduction-
For my work on the FIRST senior robotics team I was in charge of testing the robots electrical components. I laid out each piece on a test board and connected power to them. After that I and Rick Foster were in charge of assemble and fabrication. We spent a majority of our time working the shooter/kicker of the robot. I worked on assembling the final product and testing the kicking arm, also assembled the bottom of the robot.
Skills/Standards-
Electrical Engineering
Justification-
I believe I have used all the above standards in my work on the First team’s robot. I should receive credit for these areas in Manufacturing Technology One and I have learned a lot about both Electrical and Mechanical Engineering
