Straight from the Practice Field!
Today, Chill Out 1778 headed over to the shared practice field at Alderwood Middle School. Here, we can run the robot and test on actual game pieces!
Ready…Set…Bag It!
Here. It. Is. After six long weeks of brainstorming, designing, building, testing, and rebuilding, it all comes to a close tonight. Every bolt and every nut, every piece of aluminium is moving towards it’s final place. Everyone is waiting with bated breath for the moment we have to place the robot, the culmination of six […]

End of Week 5 Updates
Electronics Board Update Superstructure Gear collector prototype hooked up to proto-bot. Chassis!Chassis and Superstructure Thanks to the great CAD work done by Nat, the team has been able to build the chassis and superstructure to very accurate dimensions. Any time a component team has a question about dimensions, our chassis and superstructure teams are there, […]

Fabrication and…lost packages?
As Chill Out begins to crack down on a final design, we’ve started building more detailed and “final” CAD designs. These designs are leading the fabrication of prototypes for each subsystem. Soon, the team hopes to have the prototypes being re-worked and remade as final designs to go onto the final robot. However, as weather […]
Prototype Updates
As school starts back up after a long weekend, students still are determined to work harder than ever to build a successful robot. Each subgroup works together to prototype different subsystems for complete testing later this week. Nat, one of our senior members, hones in her skills on Autodesk Inventor, our CAD program of choice […]
Build Season Day #7
Today has been the first Saturday 10-4 practice! We’ve started prototyping, splitting up into groups of 2-3 to work on chassis CAD models, vision targeting work, shooter design, gear collector, ball collector, climber, and hopper conveyor. For the next week, groups will be providing proof of concept prototypes to show the team. Some designs for […]
