Monday 1/12 Scrum Notes

1. What did I do today?
2. What will I do tomorrow?
3. What’s standing in my way?

Pickup System (Kevin et al)

• Today
  • Pickup system
    • Series of hooks/keys  attached to a belt (two belts)
    • Elevator that picks up (each hook gets a tote)
• Planning
  • FIRST THING: talk with the containers for space claims issue
  • Start building the hook

Containers (Niles et al.)

• Today
  • 1. Hook on a stick
    • (+) Simple, easy to repair, not much space needed
    • (-) needs driver skill
  • 2. Hook lift
    • Lift and flip it onto a stack of totes
    • Comes out with everything else
    • (+) easier for the driver
    • (-) more actions
  • Ran through a scenario of autonomous (getting two barrels & three totes)
    • One gets hooked and slammed down, one gets stayed on the hook
• Planning
  • Check in with Pickup group
  • Start building

Pulling in Totes (Mr. Roche et al)

• Today
  • Frog Tongue ready
  • Designed to have a backstop – it has to go away
  • Remove front end to lower the front
  • The Mecanum wheel has motors on front, so tote has to
  • Roller skaters wheels are good (easy to use, works well)
    • trying to see if it can push up tote
      • the frog tongue has to make the tote go up
      • change the frog tongue (like cotton candy of last robot) to add the vertical velocity
• Planning
  • Start building

*The Scoring technique is an effective technique to assess each mechanism’s advantages and disadvantages.
