Greetings and salutations! As you may know, CORE won the Chairman’s award at the Midwest Regional. As the excitement gradually declines from that historic event, team members have been working tirelessly.

On the 27th of March, CORE will be heading off to Milwaukee to compete at the Milwaukee Regional held in the panther arena. If you would like to see us compete, the event is free and will be held March 29th and March 30th from 8am to 5pm.

• Mechanical: Designed a new manipulator, and steel bar fabrication for lift stability.
• Controls: Built new parts and editing our pack list.
• Programming: Continued work on LEDs, vision, and autonomous routines.
• Drivers: Continued practice with robot in a match-like atmosphere.
• Outreach: Refined the Chairman’s presentation and produced over 500 buttons.

Until then, CORE is refining our presentations for judges and improving our robot in preparation for the Wisconsin Regional, and for the World Championship in Detroit. We will continue to provide updates on our progress in our weekly blog posts.
