Goals:
Builders
- Create and attach a prototype of an arm mechanism to knock over the jewels in autonomous mode
Programmers
- Create an early prototype of the autonomous program
Meeting Notes
Programmers
- Reviewed example code, copied all needed code on to the prototype program
- Finished and tested the program
- Charles’s Code
- Robot went in the opposite direction
- Researched the ticks, a measurement of gear rotation, in one rotation of the gear and found that the correct number was 1680 and not 420
- Substituted the new value in the code
- Retested robot and it travelled the correct distance
- Added a feature where the linear lift would go up to avoid field damage upon leaving the balance board
- Added a feature where the claw would go down after
- Alex’s Code
- Linear lift would not go up
- Re-downloaded the program and the program worked
Builders
- Began building an arm to knock over jewel based on four criteria
- Lift must go up and down
- Must support a color sensor
- Must be long enough to knock over the jewel
- Must be attached to robot
- Met all the above criteria except for attaching it, which is partway done
