  1. CAMS Robotics Nerd herd : team 687 PARENT’S NIGHT, SEPTEMBER 3, 2010

  2. Build Chair| Thuan Doan

  3. What will Build be doing? • Learning how to design, build, program, and test a competitive robot • CAD • Machining • Working with motors, pneumatics, machines, electrical components, programming code • *NOTE* Experience is NOT necessary

  4. Build Overview • Dues are $250 for each member • Competitions: • VEX Robotics Competition (VRC) • FIRST Robotics Challenge (FRC)

  5. VEX Robotics Competition • Teams of 6-10 students to create small robots • Robots are created using the VEX Robotics Design System • CAMS 687 runs 8 teams • Teams compete at least twice • Teams can qualify for World Championships in Dallas

  6. FIRST Robotics Competition • Six weeks to design, build, program, and test a large-sized robot • Compete in two regional • World Championships in St. Louis • Build sub-teams: • Articulation • Drive • Electrical • Programming

  7. Drive Leader l Lauren Froschauer and Michelle Gonzalez

  8. Drive Team • Drive Team is responsible for the drive system of the 2010-2011 FRC Robot • We work closely with all other sub-teams • A drive system is the maneuverable platform on which the articulation is built

  9. What do we do? • Learn about the different types of drive systems • Design, CAD, machine, and build • Calculate proper gear ratios

  10. Articulation Leader l Vincent Kee

  11. What is an Articulation System? • Whatever manipulates the game pieces or lifts the entire robot • Everything on the bot besides drive base, electronics • Arms, claws, kickers, intake rollers, vacuum, elevators, baskets, hangers, etc.

  12. What does Articulation do? • Sketch + CAD Designs on Autodesk Inventor • Prototype and Machine Parts • Work with Pneumatics + other cool stuff • Mentored by professional engineers (Northrop Grumman, Raytheon)

  13. Electrical Leader l Isabel Lally

  14. What does electrical do? • Provides power to all robot’s components • Learn about and use electrical components • Learn electrical skills • Cutting and Stripping Wire • Crimping • Soldering • Design and create an electrical board for the FRC robot

  15. Programming Leader l Mathew Francis-Landau

  16. What do we do? • Sub-team on FRC • Main Platform: LabVIEW • Program robot control system • Works w/ electrical to use sensors for input • Provide programming support at competition

  17. AdministrationTaking care of business Chair l Jon Mitsui Leaders l Jessica Chiv and Josie Ma

  18. Admin Overview • Business & Financial Sub team • Organizers • Editors • Presenters • Two sub-teams • Admin • Media Dues: $150 for each Admin member

  20. What do we do? • Communication • Presentations • Networking • Sponsors • Competition Preparations • Account management • Order Materials

  21. Media Leader l Victoria Kim

  22. Media Overview The media team’s primary purpose is to promote the Nerd Herd image through design and social networking.

  23. What do we design? • NerdHerd T-shirts • CAMS Robotics’ website • Also managing our Facebook and Twitter accounts • Buttons for competitions • Business cards • Display boards • Banners and flyers • Chairman’s Video • Other promotional items

  24. outreach Director l Eugene Lee

  25. What do we do? • Record studentcommunity service • Coordinate Outreach events • Summer VEX Workshops • Middle School Mentoring • Bots by the Bay • Scout Tours • This Year’s Goals • Establish/mentor FLL/FTC teams • Mentor a rookie FRC team
