2.3.22 – EVERYBOT Instructions, Switch Event forms, Third Event info

EVERYBOT

For those of you building Team 118’s Everybot,  you can now find everything you need (all the build instructions, CAD, and code, etc) here:
https://www.118everybot.org/2022-resources

The Comets, Team 3357 from Forest Hills, are hoping to begin releasing their Everybot build videos on our website this weekend, in this order:
Chassis on Friday
Hang Mechanism on Saturday
Ball Intake on Sunday or Monday

The Comets started creating the videos just as soon as the CAD drawings were released (rather than waiting until the build instructions were released), so there may be some slight variations. You should find them extremely helpful!

If you are looking for an inexpensive bandsaw to make metal cutting way easier, The Comets recommend Harbor Freight’s $350 combination vertical/horizontal bandsaw. The website says it is due back in stock on Feb 10.

Both AndyMark and VEXPro have Everybot materials.

If you have any questions or issues, call me right away. I won’t have the answers, but I can surely connect you quickly to someone who does!!

SWITCH EVENT FORM
If you would like to switch your events, feel free to fill out this “Switch Events Form.” Hopefully another team will want to come out of the event you would like to go into.
THIRD EVENT INFO
Next week I will be sending out info on third events. Remember that a requirement of getting a third event spot is that you must have your two volunteers signed up to work your first two events. You can get started with that right away. Make sure they enter their team affiliation.
Happy Building,
