3/02/2023 - Grabby

This week we have been putting together a swerve drive for later uses. Our previous claw was also facing some issues, namely not being able to grab and hold the objects, so we replaced it with something different. Behold our new claw!

2/16/2023 - Work, work, work

We have attached a claw to the end of our robot's arm and the programmers are making some headway with autonomous driving. 

Also, we will be attending a week 0 event at Bemidji this Saturday.
