Meeting GOALS

  • Research: Robot Batteries: Research best practices for maintaining our batteries. We may have inadvertently damaged our existing batteries in recent weeks.
  • Mechanical: Robot fender is rubbing main tank tread on right side. Need to extend spacer height to lift fender. This is interfering with repeatable autonomous runs.
  • Electrical: Power supply wiring is longer than needed, would like to shorten where possible.
  • Drivers: Verify that our recent debris pickup modification to prevent blocks from escaping works well and does not cause any other problems.
