Notes
- CAD (Niles, Joe)
- Working on the part for the exterior fender (not in the Kit of Parts (should have been there)
- Software (Kevin)
- Reading WPILib documentation
- Can code vision using that library! Cool stuff!
- Can use sensors! Cool stuff!
- Bumpers (Ryan L.)
- Prepping chassis for bumpers
- Turns out that the different colors have different diameters — losing red (skinny)
- Consistent diameter noodles is being packing plasticked to the wood frame
- Black duct tape is called Gorilla tape and is semi-permanent
- NEED Polycarbonate “liners” on inside
- Second Chassis (Jane, Will, Ryan A.)
- Lubed and unjammed gearboxes
- Re-attached wheels
- Filing down the gearbox shafts so that wheels will fit
- Working on loosening rollers (some of them are dragging)
- Website (Ryan L.)
- Feeding comments back to Ms. Nugent
- Library (Jane, Ryan L.)
- Sending Ms. Pettus her paragraph
- Electronics (Ryan A., David)

- Replaced camera
- Shooter (David E., Wells)
- Working on building a support system out of 1×3 C-channel
- El Toro
- NEED rigid pieces to protect/hold ends of rollers

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
