Tasks Reflections
Prototyping the Goal Moving Device * Brad, Braden, Akhila, Morgan and trevor worked on trying to design and build an effective design for ways to pick up the goals and move them around. They settled on trying to at least try using two pegs to try to move around the goals.
  • Nick, Amal,and Laura worked in the workshop to make the Drillbit C.
  • Amal, Nick, and Laura also worked on the tube cutting to make the motor fit inside the tube. \
 ??
  • We had figured out that the ramp would not work but that two pegs on the end of the robot and that ended up working well.
Working on Liner slide in auto cad
  • Justin, Josh and Andrew worked on getting custom parts for the liner slide so it can be moved more easly.
  • Josh chose to sit at his computer waiting for Andrew the mentor to help him with solidworks A.K.A the most complicated thing in the world
  • Trevor created two designs for potential rolling goal posessors. These included a very small linear slide and a small lever both controlled by servos. He also dicussed another possible design for a potential rolling goal posessor. This one used a ramp and a platform to hold the rolling goals which would also include points for getting a rolling goal off of the ground.
Shooter
  • Laura and Akhila worked on prototyping the ball shooter that they had been working on for the past few meetings. The design includes a wheel powered by a motor, which will work to shoot the ball through a tube. After testing the prototype, they concluded that there was still some friction, and they are going to continue to work to reduce it.
