FRC Team 144 Operation Orange

Butler Tech Robotics wants to thank Kenesto for providing us with their Cloud-Based File Management. It has helped us greatly at making the CAD models for both teams 144 and 325. Thank you Kenesto for your innovation and help with this years robot. We look forward to achieving success using Kenesto to its fullest in this upcoming year.

This year we used Kenesto for the first time and all we feedback we had was positive. Having Kenesto on our computer sped up and eased the process of designing and modeling our robot this past year. The ease of checking in and out parts so different students could work on them was a new feature and a great help to us. In the future we now know how to use Kenesto and it will help us even more.

Week 6, our team focused on manufacturing and assembling key parts for our robot. We used CNC machining, milling, and the lathe to shape custom parts. Also applying powder coating for a clean finish. With many of the main components finished, we started putting together major sections of the robot. This was an important step in getting everything ready for competition and making sure our robot is built to perform well!

Our team had a great weekend at CORI! It was a great opportunity for our juniors to learn about the FIRST experience. 325, Respawn Robotics, finished strong with Alliance 6 while 144, Operation Orange, finished off with Alliance 5! It was an awesome event filled with hands on learning experiences and teamwork. Our pit ambassadors had the opportunity to mentor students from Team 10011 - Gem City Gridrunners, showing them how we operate as an FRC team. They engaged in great conversations about the FIRST program, sharing insights & experiences that have inspired them. We are proud of our progress and can’t wait to dive into next season! 🌊
