Necessary Repairs & Maintenance & Drive-Train

There are some necessary repairs needed. Also, some drive-train fixes & upgrades. I include these together. Suggest we:

  • Pull all pivots. Add spacers between driven sprocket lower 1" bearing. Check condition and refurbish as needed. All treads will need to be changed (they're beat). I will order more treads.
  • Remount magnetic absolute encoders to provide better protection to the connectors (e.g., rotate towards centerline). use wire-ties on these and other electrical connections.
  • Replace Steering Jaguars with Victors and test.

Autonomous

Possessor

We've got a fine possessor for demonstrations. In the heat of competition, it is less effective. We tend to lose the ball or else overrun it. This is an area which needs wor for IRI.

Mirror

Looks really good, but we should:

  • Verify that it stays within the frame perimeter.
  • It would be good to have a means of raising it during competition. A servo might be adequate.
