On September 26th, President Cabrera visited the SCC and had the chance to talk with students and check out the current projects. He chatted with all of the different SCC competition teams, including RoboJackets. While visiting the RoboJackets side, he got a chance to talk with Zach Slaton, the current RoboJackets president, and a few members from RoboRacing and BattleBots. He was very engaged and impressed with the robots, asking insightful engineering functionality questions. The team was able to show off some unique design aspects of the robots like the system integration of RoboRacing, significant magnet downforce of RoboWrestling, and the compact kicker of RoboCup bots. The visit has led to some interesting project developments, namely a proposed cross-SCC project to convert a Ramblin’ Wreck to an electric vehicle. Overall, President Cabrera’s tour served as a great opportunity to raise awareness for RoboJackets and the SCC as a whole.
