- Rock wall
- Chevil de frise
- Rough Road
In Progress
- Rampart
Need to start:
- Port Culis
- Low bar
- Drawbridge
Programming:
- Got all cameras working on two robots
- Attached lights on the robot
- Downloaded all the programs needed to run the camera system
- Learnt how to use the filters to only see the reflective tape
Need to do:
- Create a thing that the camer and light can rotate on so we can start programming the camera to aim and look for targets
- Create a program so the the camera is trained to look for reflective tape
Design
- Made a catapult prototype to use
- Shooter will most likely be able to rotate to follow the camera allowing the robot to shoot from several places
- Will need to create something to pick up balls, shooter will reset to normal and the ball will be loaded in and then fired
- Tires can be filled with sand to lower the center of gravity to keep it more stable
- Prototype catapult works but very large so may not fit under the low bar
- Chasis dimension 24.5 by 35.5
- 10″ tires
- Catapult should be able to be lowered into the robot to clear the low bar
- Bumper will be as high as possible
To do:
- Short on lumber
- Start 2 defenses
- Get a list of parts needed
- Get diameter of the low pipe
