GOALS for this meeting
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 increase the extend spacer height. This is interfering with repeatable autonomous runs. Electrical: Power supply wiring is longer than needed, would like to shorten where possible. Drivers: Verifying that our recent debris pickup modification to prevent blocks from escaping works well and does not cause any other problems. Video Production: Organize this effort and plan for having a video for our Harrisburg qualifier.
Wrap-Up: Decide and communicate meeting schedule for the remainder of the week.
