Tasks Reflections
Celebrating Andrew's Birthday
  • Today was Andrew's birthday! He turned 20.
  • To celebrate, we sang happy birthday and ate some cake.
Mount Angled Intake/Goal Guide
  • Laura worked to install the angled intake and goal guide she created yesterday.
  • For the angled intake, she mounted them to the underside of the plates that hold the motors for the bapper & intake. She tried to reuse the holes for the motor mounts, to prevent compromising the integrity of the plates. She had to drill one more hole on one side.
  • She tapped the hole, which was her first time using the tap.
  • She finally installed the 2 angled intakes, but not the goal guide. It took longer than expected. She will mount the goal guide next meeting, hopefully.
Adding Servo Mounts
  • Laura worked to drill the holes to mount servo mounts on the chassis. These servos will be used to push down on the far edge of the rolling goal base, so the tube doesn't tip as we push it up the ramp.
  • She tapped one hole crooked, so we had to enlarge the hole on the servo mount.
