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
- Options:
- Attach the selected servo motor to the dump mechanism
- Attach the dump mechanism with the servo to a Tetrix X-Rail
- Decide on a servo to turn the grabbing mechanism to dump or pick up the minerals.
- 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.
