• Fine tune autonomous program

Meeting Notes

Programmers:

• Reviewed code for errors
• Worked to fix an autonomous problem where the lift wouldn’t raise
• Autonomous code that just went straight wouldn’t raise the lift but otherwise worked (two statements run to position and reset coder was switched. Worked after the fix.)
• Copied the program and added a 90-degree turn for the autonomous code that required a turn to fully complete its function
• The code couldn’t turn (reversed wheels failed) (created two new variables drive distance right and drive distance left)
• In order to make the turn, perfect coders had to change variable left turn to 2520

Builders:

• Attached the arm connected to a servo and color sensor that knocks off jewels to the robot
• Couldn’t connect the sensor to the robot because the wire was too short
• On our experimental robot, we reconfigured electronics so we could fit on an arm and a dc motor (extra activity for outreach)
