Competition Season Meeting

Meeting Date Meeting Time Location Attendees
11/19/14 6-9pm TCHS Brandywine Josh, Justin, Braden, Laura, Nick


Tasks Reflections
Intake Work
  • Josh, Justin, and Braden added the surgical tubing, zip ties, motors, and chain for the intake.
  • It is now fully functional when plugged into a battery.
Bapper on Chassis
  • The 90 degree bend pipe was added to the chassis.
  • The intake can get a ball into the pipe when aimed correctly. Soon, a guide will added to funnel the balls into the pipe.
  • The bapper will be moved from the prototype to the chassis next meeting.
Autonomous
  • Today, Nick and Laura worked on the parking zone autonomous.
  • First, we added the encoder wires to the robot, so we could use them in autonomous.
  • Then, we wrote the code to line up with the center goal, and knock down the kickstand after finding the IR beacon.
  • Due to a parents meeting, we were unable to test this code. All moves/turns are written with values that we estimated to be approximately correct.
  • Next meeting, we will test the code we have, and change the values where needed.
