Week 4 has flown by, so here is your Week 4 update. We started out the week with a riveted chassis, and now we have a robot with gearboxes attached that has moved, with most of our mechs CADded and with assembly begun.
Our 3D Printers have been busy! 
Programmer working on autonomous aiming 
We have a new pneumatic riveter!
This week, our 3D printers have been busy! Spacers from suppliers can get expensive, so we save lots of money 3D printing our own spacers and custom parts. Our programmers are determined to get our vision code developed to where we can score using the vision targets on the field. Also, we have a new pneumatic riveter, which makes assembly so much easier!
We made a strengthening pan out of sheet metal 
The bearing mounts for our lift are milled (pictures to come) 
Milling our lift components
We were concerned about the strength of our sheet metal belly pan with our heavy lift being bolted right to it, so we bent up a custom strengthening pan that looks something like the bottom of an aluminum boat. Also, we milled out lots of parts for our front elevator, so assembly on that has begun.
Our final chassis with gearboxes attached 
Our cargo mech- it doesn’t open and it is driven from one motor
Look at our beautiful bot! (fullscreen is recommended)
Our robot assembly is going strong! 
Our 2019 buttons. We made hundreds!
Our 2019 buttons are designed, and they are oh-so-slick! We will be handing these out (in CopperBots tradition) at our competitions this year. Also, our robot assembly continues to be strong. Post a comment on our Facebook page guessing what the name is if you don’t know already. (Hint: in an 11-year CopperBots tradition, it is named after a minor Simpsons character).
