Team Paragon 571, Located in Windsor
In a galaxy, just beyond Hartford, Connecticut, is the one and only Team Paragon 571, located in Windsor. As we progress through the build season, considerable progress has been made. Build is nearing completion, Programming has produced more code, Web has further organized the website, and Imagery has created new team shirts and robot designs. Soon we will be fully competition ready! Imagery has finalized the t-shirt logo, sketched the button design, organized the pit book, and formatted the awards. We will be introducing Rogue571, our robot, into the FIRST Infinite Recharge competition in March. We are currently working at finalizing the details of the robot visuals. Our Programming Team completed the drive function and the color sensor portion of the code. Now we continue brainstorming autonomous commands to ensure we have a successful strategy. Furthermore, we have broken ground on the code needed to make the climber and the conveyor belt. The Build Team has made great progress in constructing our robot. First, we have completely assembled the conveyor belt (ball scoring mechanism). Second, we have begun construction on the climbing mechanism to ensure the robot will successfully climb to earn points. Finally, the chassis on the robot now has the proper gear ratio and number of motors. The robot is approaching completion and will soon be competition ready. -Team Paragon Co-Captains: GABBY AND OM B.T.S.
