Objectives / Systems Hypotheses, tests, observations, conclusions, plans
Climb the Mountain
  • Tops of the 1/2" Hex horizontal bars are 1.25" above the red or blue ramp (measured normal to the ramp surface).
  • The ramp (low & mid regions) incline is 30 deg.
  • The high region incline angle is 50 deg.
Debris Intake * trent came up with a design fon an intake that involved a box that lifts 1 piece of derbris at at time on a vertical conveyer belt.
  • Myles worked on the idea he had for the intake which scooped balls into a container.
  • Braden worked on building a chassie for the intake desighns and other desighns for getting debrie.
  • Braden, Amal, Myles, and Trent were part of the intake section.
  • Amal's idea was like a circular intake like a loop going into a pole. As well as collecting it into the tube.
Debris Storage
  • Josh, Wade and Snarr were part of the storage section.
  • The three pondered storage ideas thoughout most of the meeting but could not agree on a storage solution.
  • the team worked on ideas for the debris. scoring collecting and storeing we split up into groups and worked on 1 of the three tasks the team that was working on scoring and storing teamed up later had shared ideas.
  • Bennet helped Wade refine his design for the robot.
  • Team scoring worked on a way to take that ideas from team storage came up with and an idea to get the debris into the holder.
  • Daniel, Bennett, and Justin worked on scoring and decided that, depending on the drive train, they are doing a shooter or a slider.
