Attendance:

Alex, Cameron, Charles, Drew, Zach

 

Goals:  

• Cameron and Charles
  • Decide on a servo to turn the grabbing mechanism to dump or pick up the minerals.
    • Options:
      • Continuous Large Servo
      • 180 Large Servo
      • Continuous Servo
      • 180 Servo
    • Criteria:
      • Weight
      • Size
      • Power
  • Attach the selected servo motor to the dump mechanism
  • Attach the dump mechanism with the servo to a Tetrix X-Rail
• Zach and Drew
  • Build a frame that will work with mecanum wheels
  • Build a hook that will attach to the bracket on the side of the lander
• Alex
  • Create a program to test the different servo types so Charles and Cameron can decide which one they want to use
  • After Charles and Cameron have decided on a servo write a
    program for the selected computer

Meeting Notes

• Cameron and Charles
  • Choose the 180 Servo because it is lighter than the Large Servos, is one of the smallest servos and could perform the task easily.
  • Attached the Servo the dump mechanism and modified dump mechanism to make it lighter.
  • Attached the dump mechanism to a Tetrix X-Rail and prepared it to be attached

• Zach and Drew
  • Built a frame that would allow the attachment of mecanum wheels.

• Built and attached a hook to the robot that allowed it to easily lift itself off the field.

• Alex
  • Programmed all 4 servos to move a certain distance forward and back.
  • Programmed the selected 180 Servo to move to coded positions.
  • Helped Zach and Drew put together a frame that would work for mecanum wheels.
