Tasks Reflections
Programming the Robot
  • Amal was learning how to program the robot via the mac and CJ's laptop.
  • Amal also learned that numbers and variables control the servo and help the robot transport items.
  • Amal and CJ were also helping to fix the wheel that broke on the chasee on the platform.
  • Amal, Trevor, CJ, and Josh were driving the robot also.
Solidworks
  • Josh worked with Mentor Andrew to improve upon the linear slide by replacing makeshift parts with the parts that would be used in real life.
Practicing Driving
  • Trevor worked with Josh on driving the robot. Trevor gave him various instructions so that he could get a feel for driving the robot and listening to commands. He did tasks such as driving around the center goal and getting rolling goals into specific areas and onto ramps. He completed these tasks exceptionally well for driving for the first time with tank drive.
Reviewing the game rules.
  • Bad luck with solid works when making finishing the linner slide on the computer the program broke twice and and a video that we watched froze the comupter but we did what we set out to do.
Shooter Mechanism
  • Akhila and Laura worked again on the shooter mechanism. Last week, it was revealed that they could not use a motor without a gear box, which is what had been in use for weeks prior. They tried this week to use the same idea, but with a gear box, and it was clear the mechanism would not work. They discussed new ideas, and started prototyping one of them.
