The NRMC group has developed a timeline for this month and has
gotten several electrical/programming projects rolling. Some of the
group’s upcoming goals are to finish the NASA frame, get
everything mounted, and get the robot driving. If you are interested
in helping with the mechanical shenanigans, contact
ryan.j.swanson@ndsu. For electrical/programming, email
Ri3D Drivetrain Project:
If you missed the meeting for this last week, contact [email protected] or
[email protected] for the information! This is a great way to get involved and
prepared for the Robot in Three Days project coming up on January 12th.
Jumpstart Training Event 2015:
Sign up for behind-the-scenes volunteering via the link on the front page! This will be a
great volunteer opportunity for Bison Robotics, and lunch is free!
Meetings are every Monday from 6-8pm. The quad project is
going well: both quads are flying with stable flights. They are
now waiting on parts that will enable the copters to fly
autonomously, and they are going over the competition rules.
They are entering the AUVSI Seafarer competition that will take
place early this summer.
The mechanical and electrical teams have been hard at work. The Creo model
should be completed by the end of this week, and all parts should be ordered by
the end of the month already. Battle Bots is currently looking for people
interested in being part of various necessary subgroups for scouting,
marketing, documentation, and fundraising. If you are interested, contact
Jordyn Johnson. The competition will be taking place in May, 2016 in
Pennsylvania.
