Reflections

Prioritize Autonomous
|
- We brainstormed the different autonomous modes we should have. We would need at least 2 depending on our starting position, and more depending on what we want to do.
- We also tested and timed these different scenarios so we could more accurately determine what we can do in the first 30 seconds.

Prototype a Chassis
|
- Brad, CJ, Trevor, Nick and Laura started to design and build a prototype chassis to drive around, being about eighteen inches by fifteen inches, using the standard kit wheels for the base wheels.
- For today, the prototype looked like a square.
- With this chassis, we can start to work on knocking over the kickstand.
|
Work On Engineering Notebook
|
- We had to write down our thoughts on the spot while still thinking thoughts of the robot
- We had to think of the robot's functions in part of the engineering notebook.
|
Discuss Robot Requirements
|
- Before building our robot, we must first know what our robot needs to include. We discussed the various requirements for the robot.
- We designed our dreamy downward descent down the declining ramp into the rambunctious robot rolling goal score to the perplexing piercing parallel parking zone
|
Discuss how to Meet the Robot Requirements
|
- We discussed various ways to meet the requirements we discussed for the robot.
- We discussed having a wheel pool in the whiffle balls. So we then discussed having it bring them to a shooting mechanism.
- We were thinking of having 4 motors with an L Chain.
- To pick the balls up off the ground, we are thinking of using a single wheel, Dual Wheel, or Tank Treads.
|
- We decided for the transmission on a four motor chain drive system with tank tread.
