Auri

In the development over the past year, we are proud to show our complete render of Auri. Since April, we have been machining the parts and readying the electrical boards. On June 24th, we hosted a BBQ unveiling of Auri at the West Pool in Van Vliet. We could not have hoped for a more amazing unveiling. Check our media page for pictures of the event!

July 27, 2017 – Day 4: Is This Turning Into a Pattern?

The alarm that is Jon blared loud throughout the rooms, waking all of us up. From under my pillow, I peaked at the clock. In red block numbers it showed 6:30. Wow, that’s early. But I guess we have our static judging today at 8:50, so we have to be prepared! For breakfast, it was […]

The first pool test is scheduled for 7:30 so its no surprise that everyone was essentially sleep walking as we piled into the […]

July 25, 2017 – Day 2: A Rollercoaster of a Day

It’s 1:00 in the morning, the epoxy has dried, and the robot is ready to go in the pool and get tested. “Glug glug”, the sound that makes us immediately freeze to our spots as water starts leaking inside Auri like a faucet. Suddenly, Brayden and Mike jumped to action, pulled Auri out of the […]
