Meeting Date Meeting Time Location Attendees
9-November-2015 6:00-9:00 PM TCHS Brandywine - Amal - Akhila - Bennett - Josh - Justin - Trevor Trent - Myles - Matt - Jake


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 both sides. 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.
  • 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.
