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
