Meeting Notes
Programmers:
- Calculated the required ticks to move the robot to the safe zone
- Talked about getting glyph in crypto box and knocking off the jewel
Builders:
- Shortened claw by taking off top metal plate
- Changed hubs on mechanum wheels to fit better
Objective: Find the amount of ticks required to get the robot from the balancing pad to the safe zone.
Math:
- Diameter of mechanum wheels is 4”
- PI times 4 gives circumference of wheels
- 3.14 * 4 = 12.56 inches per rotation of motor
Move 26”
- 26/12.56= 2.07 rotations to go 26 inches
- 420 ticks every revolution
- 07*420=869.4
- 869.4 ticks to go 26”
Move 36”
- 36/12.56= 2.87 rotations to go 36 inches
- 420 ticks every revolution
- 87*420=1203.82
- 1203.82 ticks to go 36”
