Let's dive into what happened this week:

Mechanical continued the assembly of our offseason robot subsystems, moving towards a finished offseason bot.

Programming is nearly finished with our offseason bot code, as they wrapped up the final subsystem code, worked on auto paths using Choreo and Pathplanner, created preliminary SOTM (Shoot on the Move) math, and dialed in debugging tools like Elastic and bindings.

Electrical was busy prewiring various subsystems in preparation for the upcoming assembly phases.

Web-Dev kicked off development on our brand-new public contact website and put in some solid work on our scouting platform.

Marketing and Business brainstormed creative ideas and officially started writing this season's Impact Essay.

Stay tuned for more weekly updates throughout the offseason!

Sorry about missing last week!
Let's dive into what happened this week:

Mechanical was wrapping up the CAD for our offseason robot and are having a design review before fabrication and assembly starts. They also swapped the flywheels on our current robot, BLIZZARD, with a drum, while also fixing some intake issues.

Programming did some testing with SystemCore Alpha, and used a past offseason bot, OCRA, to teach our rookies how to tune an elevator. They also got all the libraries ready to start coding the offseason bot, next week

Electrical finished the Electrical Documentation for our offseason robot and were busy wiring the drivetrain in preparation.

Business has been outreaching to Title I Schools in the area, and getting them interested in adding our "RISE with YETI" program.

Stay tuned for more weekly updates throughout the offseason!

YETI Robotics has been busy across every subteam in recent weeks, so we're introducing new weekly posts to update you on our progress before the new FRC season!

Mechanical wrapped up CAD for swapping our flywheels out for a drum and inertial wheel (with a few intake tweaks along the way), and they're already getting into the CAD for our brand new offseason robot.

Programming brought an old robot back from the dead for a training exercise, started some vision fixes on our current bot, and is building a new shooter map to match the drum and get it dialed in.

Electrical started their training with wiring and crimping practice and is now working through an Electrical Documentation Exercise for the offseason build.

Our business team has been getting our rookies experience they'll need for the impact essay, while also training them up in Figma to level up their design skills.

Stay tuned for more weekly updates throughout the offseason!

So YETI won Hopper and played on Einsteins? What a season we have had as a team. So grateful for this season and all the hard work the students have put in to get to where we are.

So hyped to been able to have the chance to learn a fb play with , and Barker Redbacks (unable to tag)

YETI also won the Engineering Inspiration award!! Shoutout to the super hard work the students have done on the marketing sub-team to prepare for worlds with EI in mind.

To close this out, what a generational run YETI has had this season. On to many more just like it!

Definitely long overdue for some drive team and pit crew love! Shoutout to them for literally keeping the robot functional and in matches. Couldn’t do it without them!!
