Robotics Fall Warm Ups

Fall meetings are optional but important.  Its where we train in new people and figure out new technologies.  30 students, a new home, new machines to assemble and figure out....its a lot.

One thing we've been hard at is getting a CNC router up and running.  We found this one basically abandoned in our new work space.  It may never have been used.  For our purposes it needed an upgrade to handle metal, and a general tune up.


After a number of hours of work the team did get it running.  At least well enough to test with wood and using improvised material clamping.  First project?  Here it is and I don't get it either:


I guess it was nearly dinner time and the kids were hungry.   

It's kind of boring but we are also doing inventory.  What do we have?  What will we need?


Tallying up and sorting out rivets and widgets might not seem like high tech 21st century stuff.  But we have a major campaign ahead of us.  Amateurs study tactics, professionals study logistics.
