Attendance:
Alex, Charles, Cameron, Drew and Zach
Goals:
- To get the linear lift to a point where it can pick up the robot
- To fix the speed of the motor that extends the XRail
- To fix the problem with the motor that rotates the XRail not being strong enough to hold the weight of the fully extended XRail
- Add a bar to the back of the robot to stop the XRail from slamming into the ground
Meeting Notes
- To get the linear lift to a point where it can pick up the robot
- Status: Complete
- We have gotten the XRail to a point where it can pick up the robot successfully
- The reason it was unable to work earlier was because the transmission of the previous motor was bad
- We have gotten the XRail to a point where it can pick up the robot successfully
- Status: Complete
- To fix the speed of the motor that extends the XRail
- Status: Impossible
- It is impossible to change the speed of the motor without making it go above 100% power
- Status: Impossible
- To fix the problem with the motor that rotates the XRail not being strong enough to hold the weight of the fully extended XRail
- Status: Incomplete
- We tried to use counterweights to balance the weight from the fully extended XRail but the counter weights were not heavy enough and te XRail continued to sink
- Status: Incomplete
- Add a bar to the back of the robot to stop the XRail from slamming into the ground
- Status: Undecided
- Although we decided last meeting to add a bar to the back of the robot, we were undecided at the start of this meeting we figured that we would use the space for something else
- Status: Undecided
- List of issues to fix
