Continued the mad dash to assemble the updated sweeper, revolver and launcher. Old pieces have been removed and new components put together just not assembled. The sweeper, revolver and launcher were all lowered in attempt to ease intake and firing. The revolver spinner went on a diet and lost some girth and weight. The motor was replaced with a winching servo to hit positions better and not use up another motor port. The sweeper intake wheel was able to be shrunk by lowering the system, requiring less of a upward ramp. The launcher wheels were replaced with the lighter 4″ wheels, requiring the remodeling and printing of the launcher holder. Trying to hit the 12/29 assembly deadline so coders can have some time with the robot.
Gavin rearranged the motor ports to allow the launcher motors ports to share the same encoder ports. There was an issue with using the motor velocity if they were not on the matching ports. Code was updated for the new wiring, just need to update the RoadRunner code for the wheel motor name changes.
