New Mentor Last week, we welcomed our new mentor, Khushbu Patel, to the Cast Iron Orcas team! Graduating from University of Austin, Texas, she majored in aerospace engineering with computational sciences. She is currently pursuing a graduate in electrical and computer engineering at the University of Washington. She is currently working as a Avionics and […]
Welcome to the second post of the year! The Cast Iron Orcas have had quite the eventful beginning to the October, with Tailgate preparations, and Tailgate itself, having just ended a few days ago. Plenty of the Orcas showed up to tailgate, and we had a very positive experience. And, if I may add in,
Cast Iron Orcas! Today is tailgate, and we have a ramen bar set up! If your not already volunteering, and your planning to go to tailgate, make sure to stop by and get something!
Welcome to the first blog post of the new school year! And over the past 3 weeks, the Cast Iron Orcas have been working hard to get everything up and running amid the swath of new talent we have this year. the Mechanical Team, led now by Zeke has been working on onboarding new recruits
Today mechanical was on a role today. They worked primarily on wiring. They also worked working out quirks with the elevator and making bumpers. With these done, our robot will be better than ever! Coding was also on a grind today. They worked on making this year’s code. They primarily focused on coding the climbers
Today our mechanical team worked very hard. They worked on cutting and drilling metal. Along with this, they worked on field elements. With these, we will have a good robot and field to practice with! Coding also was on a grind. They worked on a lot of things today. One of which was implementing the
Mechanical was on an absolute grind today. Since they got all their parts in, they could finally start making our robot unique. Apart from that, they also worked on field elements. Along with those things they worked on the routing for the CNC machine! Some had to leave early to go to a CTE fair,
Today out mechanical team worked strenuously. They worked multitudes of things, one of which included making game elements and making final adjustments to the robot design. They also had a gallon of WD-40 that they ordered finally arrive! This will be good so we can practice and have our robot done before any competitions! Our
Mechanical was very busy preparing materials for the robot parts to be delivered to the shop soon so that we can start actually building the Robot sooner than later! Then one of our members was researching CNC stuff (And root beer lol). Operations wasn’t really here today, there were only 2 here today, but stay tuned for
Blog day 3 1/14/2025 Today our mechanical team held a vote on what our final robot design will be. This will be the robot we have during competitions! Mechanical also worked on tidying up our shop. This will allow us to have a clean workspace in the future! Our coding team found the maximum velocity
