Powerhouse 9410 Newsletter

BUILD SEASON is in full swing and we couldn't be happier.

Thank you for your flexibility and thank you for your dedication to this team

Please take a moment to stay up to date

All of our team members have definitely been pretty busy and productive over the past 2 weeks.

It would be difficult for us to give you a step by step description of everything that went on, as there are things going on in every corners of the shop.

We had some construction going (you can see some of the pictures in our Google Drive), we had some carpet being laid down; we had some major cleaning/reorganization of our closet, which helped create a space for recording. This led to a group specializing in recording mini tutorials for the future of our team.

Our CAD team has been super busy as well, virtually. Their Discord thread is longer than 100 CVS receipts, but they have finalized cad and will be cutting and machining the robot out. The cam pictures below are a good sneak peak of the robot's possibilities. This is the results of hours of discussions, tweaks and re-tweaks so far. (as seen in the few pictures below)

Everything is on track so far, but we still have a long way to go.

We will do our best to continue keeping you updated on our progress

Congratulations to Frank and Aidan P for bringing in the first 2 team Sponsors.

Frank brought in Havens Construction as Bronze level Sponsors ($500), and Aidan brought in Combs Home Team Real Estate as Iron Sponsor ($100)

We are so excited
