Tasks Reflections
Marketing
  • Brad and Trevor worked on designing and painting a scouting box and a button box using the team colors
Tapping
  • Amal, Braden, and Josh helped with tapping to thread the screw.
  • Andrew, Clem, and Mr. Weissman were also helping them on the tapping.
  • They also tried to mount the wheels on the robot.
  • They completed all 8 holes necessary in order to mount the motors
Programming
  • Nick started off the meeting by testing what he currently had for the program with Laura and Akhila. Then they all began testing what signal strengths worked and didn't work for the IR autonomous.
  • When they first started the meeting, there was a problem with the NXT stalling after a few seconds of autonomous.
  • They realized it was due to the fact that they were trying to read the encoders without them being plugged into the motor controller.
  • They took the encoder code out temporarily to test the IR values, due to lack of time. They will attach the encoders next meeting.
