It was a big day today! The competition robot was finished, and the team got in some driving practice before bag and tag on the 23rd.
Electronics finished wiring the turret, and tested all of the components thoroughly.
Programming continued working on autonomous, and tested all of the code.
The Mechanical team added a front bumper and adjusted the tension on the treads.
Electronics completed wiring the practice bot.
The programming team finished their code, so the practice bot is driving!! Woohoo! This is a huge milestone in the build season!
The Mechanical team tensioned the treads - so the practice robot is now ready to drive!
Electronics wired motors and finished wiring up some other things on the electronics board.
Mechanical team tested the intake roller with the motor chained out on arm, which unfortunately didn't work. They also began assembling a prototype with a PG motor inside two different sized PVC tubes.
Electronics had to rebuild the base of the electronics board, as it broke. They powered through it effectively, however!
The programming team had a brief meeting covering basic functionality and prepping for tasks to come.
Scouting reviewed processes for competition and introduced some new members to the system, so at competitions, scouting will be easier and smoother.
Mechanical team began to work on the treads - they pulled out the pulleys, and fitted them to the chassis. Once this process is finished, the practice robot will be drive ready!
Electronics team modified added two talons to the talon board.
The Mechanical team attached continued assembling the practice bot chassis by attaching RAW boxes to drive plates and fixing those to the chassis.
Electronics mounted the electronics board and the roboRIO on the practice bot chassis.
The Mechanical team continued work on the practice robot, assembling different pieces so it can be pieced together later.
Electronics team started building the electronics board and began problem-solving certain design flaws.
The Programming team worked on vision-targeting for the goals on the tower, and Practice Field continued working on the tower.
The Mechanical team began making the practice bot chassis, and prepared it for the Electronics team. They also started assembling other parts for the practice bot.
The Electronics team started working on the electronics board placement.
