This week marks the final week of the 2012-2013 school year.
This year was marked by a series of ups and downs. We have gained several accomplishments with our first year back from hiatus.
We look to the next year with growing hope. We will begin the new year with a new engineering center, E-103 and E-104. Our team organization has been revised based on the lessons learned from this year. We expect to bring back several of our past events from this year along with new events/projects that will help to elevate the prestige of the team.
We would like to thank all of the students, teachers, parents, administrative members, community members, and ,members of the FIRST Robotics community for their enthusiasm and support during the 2012-2013 school year.

The team is continuing work on the practice robot. The goal is to have the robot done by the end of the week.
The plan is to utilize on of the old Trinity Robots that have survived the build season as a practice robot chassis. The drivetrain will be converted into a 4 wheel drive. The Shooter-Hopper will be integrated onto the pre-built superstructure of the practice robot.

Delta Zero
Robot Name: Delta Zero
Robot Game: 2013 - Ultimate Ascent
Weight: 111 pounds
Autonomous: n/a
Pyramid Climb: Level 1 climber. Consists of 2 pneumatics tanks on the side of the robot. Will be able to lift a 120 pound robot into level 1. A very fast climb, estimated to take less than 10 seconds.
Shooter-Hopper: Linear frisbee launcher with 2 8-inch rubber wheels. Total weight of 23 pounds. Consists of a plexiglass slide and a 5 gallon bucket to store a maximum capacity of 4 frisbees. A feeder mechanism that consists of a VEX 393 motor that push the frisbees into the wheels.
Electronics: The router, speed controllers, relays, and pneumatic air tanks are stored in the sides of the robot. A plexiglass access panel allows for quick access to the electronics for maintenance.
Drivetrain: A 4 wheels drive with 6 inch rubber wheels from Andymark. Two wheels on each side is connected to a single CIMple gearbox with 1 CIM motor through chains instead of belts.

Day 45 - STOP BUILD
Day 45 of FRC 2013 Build
STOP BUILD DAY
19 February 2013
Tuesday
The robot's electronics have been completed for several days now. The wiring have been dressed. Troubleshooting continued today and all of the issues, except the feeder mechanism, has been resolved.
This year we will retain our shooter-hopper system, which weighs 23 pounds, for further development and practice after the build season. Work on the practice robot have begun in week 6 and will continue with a goal of completing the practice robot before the end of the month.
The construction of the robot is officially complete. Though we were 2 weeks and 3 days behind our original goal of completion of the robot by the end of week 4, we were able to complete our goal of building a robot that is under the weight limit. We are still proud of the fact that we accomplished the robot before the end of the build season and will continue to pursue a faster robot construction process for next year.
The robot is currently bagged and tagged.

Day 42
Day 42 of FRC 2013 Build
Saturday
16 February 2013
The climbing system is almost complete. The electrical components for the climbing system has been installed. The only issue is that the team is missing a solenoid card for the CRio. We will receive a new solenoid card along with a new 4 slot cRio before the start of the Inland Empire Regional.
The climbing system itself was tested with the robot attached. The climbing system will propel the robot into level 1 of the pyramid.
Further troubleshooting of the robot continued today. We have resolved several issues with the program. We know for sure that the elevation system works. Further troubleshooting will continue through until the robot is bagged.
