Gavin worked on designing a new wheel-driven specimen grabber. Jordan worked on putting a DC motor on the existing claw to make it more stable.[…]

Demonstrated robot to WACO Board of Directors and Collins Aerospace. Went over FTC game rules, how the robot was built and answered general questions about[…]

Today was the first qualifying competition. We started out doing really well, being in 8th place out of 26, but eventually fell behind to 21st.[…]

First test drive of the robot with full functionality.

We fixed some issues in coding, making the robot easier to handle during competition. For example, we switched our claw assembly to a locked position[…]

Documentation lost track of who did what. We did the following:

Robot was tested. Everything works, but not well. Michael finalized the coding for the robot, mainly running into issues with servos. Eric, Gavin, and Jordan[…]

Michael coded the brush and vertical basket. Eric, Jordan, and Nick fixed and lubricated the vertical system. Preston continued with documentation.

Jordan worked on the basket to lift specimens. Eric worked on stabilizing the horizontal arm. Gavin added mechanical stops to the horizontal arm and worked[…]

Nick and Eric worked on attaching the Horizontal Arm to the robot. Preston worked on a bracket to stabilize a component of the vertical arm,[…]

Gavin worked on troubleshooting issues with the vertical arm. Eric worked on fixing the horizontal arm and getting it ready for installation. Nick and Jordan[…]

Carter put the sign on the robot. Gavin finished putting together the vertical arm, while Nick and Eric reconstructed the new hand and did some[…]

  Gavin, Preston, Michael and Jordan attached the vertical arm to the base drive. Carter began working on mini-bot to learn system. There will NOT[…]

We got the robot moving!!!!! Gavin worked on the vertical arm. Nick worked on making the horizontal grabber more compact. Eric worked on developing a[…]

Nick and Eric worked on attaching the collection basket to the vertical arm. Jordan and Carter worked on attaching the license plates to the robot.[…]

Gavin continued to assemble smaller vertical arm. Michael fixed servos and code for brush and horizontal lift. Eric, Nick, Carter and Kyle organized the room[…]

Preston worked on making the vertical arm thinner. Jordan mounted the control hub and batteries to the robot. Gavin tapped screw holes in the vertical[…]

• Gavin worked on the assembly of the vertical arm. • Nick worked on the horizontal grabber hand. • Michael and Eric worked on mounting[…]

Preston made some CAD modifications to a planned specimen grabber. Jordan and Gavin disassembled the vertical arm and prepared the robot for a new arm[…]

Gavin worked on better integrating the arm into the robot. Nick and Eric worked on the horizontal arm/grabber. Carter looked into a bracket for a[…]
