Meeting Notes
Builders
- Put 4 stages1 together
- Put stops2 in the lift
- Attached linear lifts to crossbeam which attaches to robot
Programmers
- Built a test set-up
- Test drive and lift programs
Stages are a combination of apiece of C channel, a sprocket, 2 guilds, and 2 racks for a rack and pinion
Stops stop the stage from going all the way up
The picture above shows the test set up the programmers built:
- The lift motor controls the linear lift
- RB (Right Back): is the drive motor in the back on the right side on the robot
- LB (Left Back): is the drive motor in the back on the left side the robot
- RF (Right Front): is the drive motor in the front on the right side the robot
- LF (Left Front): is the drive motor in the front on the left side the robot
- CDR (Core Distribution Relay): Distributes power to other modules
- MC (Motor Controller): Provide 2 motors power
- DC Motor: Turns 360 degrees forward or back
- SC (Servo Controller): Provides 6 servo motors with power
- Servo motor: Turns 180 degrees
- Phone: Sends direction to the CDR about how much power to give to the controllers
- Battery: Stores power
