0819 CNC STUDY CAMP

On August 19th, we participated in a CNC study camp. The lecturer began by personally demonstrating step-by-step procedures using an electronic whiteboard, teaching us how to use the Ucancam software, how to configure various functions, and how to design CNC cutting paths.

Subsequently, the lecturer grouped us together and guided us in operating the machine. He took the time to explain the functions of each button on the remote control and provided explanations for why these settings were necessary, highlighting the potential consequences if they were not correctly configured. Finally, he offered us careful reminders and safety instructions to ensure that we could use the CNC machine correctly and safely.

Following this, the lecturer led the groups that had used Ucancam to draw CNC cutting paths, saved the files onto USB drives, and conducted hands-on operations with the machine. This practical experience not only helped us understand how to operate the machine but also allowed us to witness the machine precisely follow the paths we had created, providing us with valuable insights.

In conclusion, we are grateful to the lecturer for teaching us computer-based drawing and providing a detailed introduction to CNC. This workshop provided us with a comprehensive understanding, especially considering that it was our first encounter with a physical CNC machine.

Welcome to Our FRC Robotics Team 8725's Blog: Connecting with the World

Image
Hello and welcome to the official blog of our FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition) robotics team! We are excited to share our journey and experiences with you as we delve into the world of robotics and strive to promote STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education. Our team is passionate about fostering innovation, collaboration, and community building, and we look forward to connecting with FRC teams from around the globe. The FRC robotics competition provides an incredible platform for students like us to explore the realms of robotics, engineering, and problem-solving. It is a thrilling experience that requires us to design, build, and program a complex robot within a limited time frame. However, beyond the competitive aspect, we believe that FRC offers us an opportunity to connect with fellow teams worldwide and foster a global network of knowledge exchange. Through this blog, we aim to document our team's progress, share our insights, and provide valua...

0910～0930 FRESHMAN CUP

Image
In the past few weeks, we worked hard to make our robots for Freshman Cup. The hardware and software group have been mainly busy with the Freshman Cup. In the past few days, members in the hardware group have stayed to discuss and assemble the robot at noon and after class. Some members are responsible for sawing aluminum. Some members are responsible for measuring the length of the tread, some are responsible for assembling it, and some are responsible for connecting the wires. You can see their perfect division of labor and cooperation, and the degree of completion is getting higher and higher day by day, and it is almost completed now. Students in the software group are studying Limelight, image recognition, Wpilib function library, and improvements to the Swerve chassis program to increase their programming skills and enhance their programming capabilities. They hope that they can come in handy in future competitions and help the team. Get the win. The administrative team did not p...

Build Season Week 3 and 4

Image
In the third and fourth weeks of the season, the hardware and software teams collaborated, addressing issues through multiple discussions and adjustments. After resolving the problems, we tested the functionalities of the shooter and intake on the actual field. The engineering notes for the hardware section are largely complete, and the shooter assembly, having been assembled, is now undergoing improvements. Currently, we have produced three robots. Simultaneously, the administrative team is organizing various PR materials and assisting the hardware and software teams. Through continuous experimentation and enhancement of robot functionalities, we aim to progress and grow continually, striving to design and create even better robots.
