Week 1: Prototyping

     During Week 1, the Breakerbots worked on CAD and prototypes for their 2025 robot, “Leviathan”. The team prototyped many different designs for the algae intake, the coral intake, and the climb and finalized design decisions for these tasks. The CAD team started making full models of these mechanisms as well as the robot, and our mechanical team assembled the robot’s chassis and wired it. Finally, on January 11th, Breakerbots participated in the 2025 Central Coast Design Review with ten other local teams. Now, our software team will start programming the robot, and the team will continue refining prototypes for Leviathan.



Week 0: Kickoff

     This year’s game event, Reefscape, started off with a blast revealing a new game, new challenges, and new robot opportunities, and we are eager to step up to the challenge! This fall, we gained many new members, bringing our total to over 40 teammates, all of whom are excited to get the build season started.
    With a new game comes new rules, designs, and ideas, so our first task was to become familiar with the rules. In short, our robot must pick up balls and pipes, place those balls and pipes into different goals, and be able to climb onto a hanging cage. Once we understood the game, we came up with designs, strategies, and concepts to help us create the most optimal robot to achieve these tasks.
    After kickoff day, we will have 8 ½ weeks before heading off to the Pinnacles Regional to face off against many competitive teams. Make sure to come back next week for the BreakerBots Week 1 Recap!
