| | | | ||
− | *'' | + | * 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. | ||

+ | * 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 wiffle 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. | ||
