Java programming was introduced to Grayson two years ago  but he has also proven to be a skilled mechanical designer of the robo. He has honed his skills and has a strong foundation in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and is the lead robot mechanical designer.  He leads our Discord server which allows the team members to communicate and share information when team members are working on projects away from practice.  Grayson’s future is bright, he will help anywhere as he has insight on how to do almost any task. 

 

2022-2023 Individual Goals:

  • Design & build a high level robot

    • Complete: Grayson has been the lead designer both the robots for RI2S and Qualifier  

  • Do lots of digital design

    • Grayson has created a number of our logos and images which are seen in our presentations and videos.

Owen works as our CNC operator and Powder Coater, working as the finishing touches in making a part. Often coming in on off days to complete projects that were not done during our meets. He’s always fun to have around and we have high hopes for him.

2022-2023 Individual Goals:

  • Learn more of how to CAD

    • I've already learned how to make simple parts in CAD and want to try my hand at more complex parts 

  • Continue CNCing

    • Owen does most of the CNC work that needs to be done. He has also taken on the powder coating responsibilities 

 

Fun Fact: The best way to get him distracted is anything he can toss around in his hands, we do our best to keep him on track.

Jacob age 16 - 4th Year on the team

This year he is the team's primary and lead programmer.  He has developed the autonomous programming of the mecanum drivetrain.  He likes taking on different roles.  He has done programming, working on the robot, making videos for our Youtube channel, and trying out CAD. 

 

2022-2023 Individual Goals:

  • Program an effective autonomous

    • Complete: Jacob successfully programmed a solid autonomous

  • Program an asynchronous method for intake and transfer system, which automatically picks up the freight and brings it in for delivery without human intervention.  Completed and successfully ran at Second Qualifier.

 

Fun Fact: Nobody can tell he has red hair when he wears the hat.

Joe B. age 15 - 3rd Year on the team

Robot assembly and CAD apprentice

Joe is entering his 7th year in FIRST.  He wants to learn as much as physically possible about robotics. Joe helps manage the Trello account.  He also works as the odds-&-ends man. He is a do anything and take on any task type of person

 

2021-2022 Individual Goals:

  • Learn to drive the robot

    • Complete: Joe did learn how to drive the robot and has driven it multiple times

  • Improve CAD skills

    • Complete: Designed in CAD and then 3D printed his first parts 1/22/21.  They are wheel holders so the robot will not fall off the table during the robot judging  presentation.

 

Fun Fact: Joe owns a 3d printer and likes solving puzzles
