Notes
- Bumpers 2.0
- Red bumper lexan pieces cut out
- Next meeting they will be mounted
- Robot 2
- Electronics/wiring board being used.
- Waiting on polycarb board to be lasercut.
- Motor Tests
- Tested everything except the “clutch” motor
- All El Toro Motors working
- Winch motor direction figured out
- Wheels
- Metal meeting metal – Not good
- Spacing incorrect
- Alignment incorrect
- El Toro Shields
- Ready to be connected
- Need a base plate fabricated
- Madeline’s Elementary school!
- We’re going there in March!
- Jane is in charge of talking
- Crash Block
- Stops catapult at the bottom
- Limits the catapult from hitting electronics and springs
- YESTERDAY:
- We shot stuff in the air and it was cool
- 4 Springs –> 8-10 ft. Altitude, 18 ft. Displacement (9 ft. at apex)
- 3 Springs –> 6-8 ft. Altitude ~14 ft. Displacement (7 ft. at apex)
Priorities
Must
These will happen no matter what
- Drive
- Herd
- Score >= 6 pts
- Bumpers
- Do this first week, while prototypers prototype
- Documentation
|
Should
Prioritize, try to get to as many as possible
- Maneuverable (drive train and practice)
- Mecanum wheels
- Hold (hardware) a. with potential to shoot if that system comes online b. Loading (hardware) — might not even need this
- Shoot 8’ (hardware)
- Some aiming (software)
- Second robot for driving practice/thinkin’
|
If Time Permits
Reach goals
- Catch
- Differential power settings
- Vision system
- Modular goalie arm (sub 30 lb, replace shooter at competition)
|
Housekeeping
- Clean up after yourself
- Help teammates clean up after themselves
- We don’t leave until we scrum… we don’t scrum until the shop is clear
- Half-finished projects go on shelves, not the floor
- Scrap is only useful if it’s stock, stock is only useful if it’s organized
