Swerve Modules - A great deal of progress was made in finishing machining and early assembly of the swerve modules:
- Pivot top/tube weldments were processed on the CNC lathe to: 1) turn the welded surface down to flat; 2) Bore a hole for the bottom needle bearing; and ream the bottom needle bearing hole to the finished dimension.
- Bolt holes in Pivot Side Plates were countersunk.
- Bearing holes in the module top plate (1 hole) and bottom plate (2 holes) were finished for tight fit using the Boring Tool. Holes needing tapping were tapped (by hand).
- Two additional old swerve modules were disassembled - mining for COTS.
- The transfer axles were assembled.
- We found the long-lost sensor flex couplings
- Bearings (1" & 1/2" flanged) were pressed into the module bottom plate
- Top bearing mounts were 3-d printed
- CVT pulleys were 3-d printed
- Started mounting top bearings into module top plate. (3) finished (more bolts needed - we neglected to purchase these).
- Pressed needle bearings into the top and bottom of the Pivot Tube.
Shooter - Assembled next gen shooter including angle-adjustment hood.
Chassis - Deux's chassis welded (as far as is designed). Prime's chassis welding is well under way.
Ball Storage - Modeled the robot ball storage in cardboard. It holds about 60 balls. Actual will be less. We also tested loading from the human player station.
Electronics Panel - Carbon fiber composite laid up for the electronics panel.
Intake - Intake wheels cut on CNC Router.
