The first Team Update has been published for this year’s game. Be sure to stay up to date with these, as they can add, change, or clarify rules to the game.
Key piece of information in this one is the capacity of the two goals. 70 fuel for the low, 150 fuel for the high.
As a reminder, this Wednesday we have the second part of our HYPER Workshop, to introduce team members to working with metal.
6:00 to 8:00 PM. ALL Team Members. HYPER Workshop.
Veterans, if you forgot to bring safety glasses from last year in the previous meeting, be sure to bring them on Wednesday.
Don’t forget to bring your bottlecaps! We’ll need them for the end product of the workshop.
Team HYPER heads back to BU’s Agganis Arena (location of the Boston Regional which started ten years ago) for our second District Event of the 2016 Season.

Build schedule has been updated!
A special THANK YOU to Bluefin Robotics for once again graciously hosting a mentor/engineering brainstorming and strategy session at their great facility right down the street in Quincy. We say “Team HYPER wouldn’t be possible without the help/support of [insert sponsors/students/teachers/alumni/parents here]” a lot, but with Bluefin, it really is true. Bluefin Robotics’ sponsorship of our team makes all our efforts possible.
It is always helpful to get a chance to sit down as a group of professionals/mentors and really dig into the nuances of this year’s game, building upon all the hard brainstorming work our students have been doing this first week of the build season. The additional minds and expert perspectives help us inform our decisions for building a great robot together. We can’t wait to bring back your ideas and feedback (and hopefully more of you!) to the robotics area and magically turn it all into a functioning robot.
