Preston learned how to model smaller sprockets for a chain drive using Onshape. Jordan continued work on the robot arm and suggested the idea of[…]

Continued to create new autonomous test mode. Previous autonomous drive code was overwritten and must be recreated.

Gavin worked on coding distance driving for Autonomous. Eric worked on the extension mechanism for our experimental lifter arm. Preston researched newer components as well[…]

Eric and Jordan built practice obstacle course to help train autonomous drive. Documented course on graph paper to recreate Layout of practice autonomous course Gavin[…]

💡 Preston finished “coding” the MiniBot (Stephen did most of the work). 💡 Gavin, Michael, and Eric found a bad wire on the robot.

Limited practice with just Jordan. Worked on upgrading the claw arm from a string and pully to a chain mechanism.

Gavin and Michael attended practice tonight. Laptops were being used by the Lego team, so limited programming available. Troubleshooting issues with receiving encoder values on[…]

Gavin and Michael worked on coding the arm and making it run at ludicrous speeds. Preston, Nick, and Eric got a crash course on coding[…]

Now with a flip top head Robot base drive test

Programmer and Build Teams hard at work! Programmers logged into the new robot and successfully created a working teleOP mode. Using drone controls to more[…]

Confirmed that encoder wires and motors are still functioning properly. Added a flip-up platform above the Command and Control modules and wiring to easily reach[…]
