Today and most of this evening was spent at Kettering University constructing and assembling the playing field and practice areas in preparation for the first competition this weekend.
Both our teams sponsor the Kettering event, so we are responsible for many administrative duties as well as orchestrating and overseeing the field construction.
The first order of business was laying the floor tiles that will support the running robots on the field. The above photos show the beginning and the ending of todays construction of the playing field.
In the video below, you can see that some of the team members were put to work on pumping up the six hundred inner tubes for the competition! Now THAT was work!
Others also helped out with the floor wiring and carpet taping.
We did take a welcome break for dinner - pizza and sodas with an assortment of Pepperidge Farms crackers!
Following dinner, the final touches were added to the field, such as the lighted poles that the minibots will climb for additional scoring points.
And, of course, more ubertubes!!
