We drove the robot and looked at problems that were occurring. We fixed them by switching to a pulley system for the horizontal arm. After[…]

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.[…]

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:

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

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.[…]

Preston worked on reducing the total cost of the Aerobotics Furniture Budget. Michael worked on implementing roadrunner as well as tested a lift arm. Nick[…]

Michael made progress implementing RoadRunner into the robot. Gavin and Eric worked on CAD modeling the robot arms. Jordan and Kyle worked on a chain[…]

Coders continued work on the acceleration/deceleration gain. Tried on jumpsuits for competition uniforms. Attended the 2024-2025 Into the Deep kickoff at Dayton STEM Academy.

Gavin worked on acceleration control for the robot. Joprdan and Eric worked on the extender arm. Preston worked on a budget for this year, as[…]

Preston worked on some logistical planning and began putting together a layout and budget for our workspace’s furniture. Gavin worked on 3D modeling the collector[…]

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[…]

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

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 worked on the coding the camera for the robot 💡 Jordan and Nick worked (unsuccessfully) on installing a latch for the hinging components[…]

Programming Fixed program to correctly use encoders and made a function that adds an acceleration to the beginning of the drive forwards. To slowly start[…]
