Our Team: Partygroup6

Our robot's name is Partybot. He likes to party.

We want the bot to pick up cans of soda and deliver them to party guests. It will acomplish this using a claw attatched to a vetical elevator. A rotating base for the elevator will rotate the can then,using the elevator agian, lower the can into a cup holder. It would also have storage for a speaker to play music which would just be some space on the bottom layer for a small, (non-vex) bluetooth speaker. And finallay a bowl holder (maybe with a dip holder too) on top for bowls of chips, veggies, and other snacks, which will be a Perfectly designed rectangualar structure with precise measurements to hold a dome shaped bowl. It will be mobile and have a rectangular base.

Summary of the features of the robot:

• Claw to grab cans
• Claw on an Elevator to keep cans safe, and deliver to the person
• Storage for Speaker
• Retangular structure to hold a domed-shaped bowl or bag of chips

Our Team:

Jackson: Team Leader, Advisor, Programmer, aids with everything else too

• Oversees the entire team and ensures that all tasks are on track.
• Writes and tests the code that controls the robot.
• Provides guidance and expertise in engineering, programming, and project management.
• Designs and builds the robot’s physical structure.
• Manages wiring, sensors, and power distribution.

Xander: Strategist, Mechanical Engineer, aided with CAD design

• Designs and builds the robot’s physical structure.
• Collaborates with the CAD designer to turn designs into reality.
• Creates detailed computer-aided design (CAD) models of the robot.
• Develops the overall competition strategy.(in this case stategy for building the robot to execute the tasks provided.

Preston: Driver, Safety Captain, aided with mechanical

• Operates the robot during competitions. (Or in our case, just for testing)
• Ensures that all team members follow safety protocols.
• Works on the drivetrain, chassis, and any mechanical systems (e.g., arms, lifts, grippers).
• Ensures that the robot meets size, weight, and functional requirements.

Landon: Cad Designer, Electrical Engineer, Documentation Specialist

• Creates detailed computer-aided design (CAD) models of the robot.
• Designs and assembles the robot’s electrical systems.
• Troubleshoots electrical issues during testing.
• Keeps detailed records of the design process, decisions, and progress.

We are not Competition Minded so we don't need a Public Relations or a scouting lead.
