Attendance:
Zach, Cameron, Drew
Goals:
- Learn robot controls
- Practice driving
- Practice using competition rules and time
- Program autonomous codes for the robot coming off the lander
Meeting Notes Drew
- Practice driving Fixed issue where sting for the X-Rail continually came off the spool, so we replaced the new spool with the old wider spool, and this fixed the problem
- Practiced driving
- Figured out that we would start tele-op with the lift in the up position due to the nature of our autonomous program, so we put it up for driving sessions and it saved us around 5 seconds, which could allow us to get another few points through the lander
- Began getting a consistent 60 tele-op points and figured that we would get around 40-50 points for autonomous.
Meeting Notes Cameron
- Alex and Charles:
- We added a ”run to position” code so the robot would reset itself and it’s encoders so it could back up the correct amount.
- Changed the program so it would skip strafing because a second u-bolt was added to make the process getting off the lander easier.
- Added a reverse statement to the code so the string on the x-rail would not rub against the C-Channel.
- Made the strafe distance 1225.3 so it strafes 32in.
- Made the robot backup 5 inches towards the crater and stop and reset and encoders and set made to run to position.
- Made the robot turn 45 degrees clockwise by setting left Target position to 1120 / 2, the right target position was -1120 / 2.
- Updated the program to reset encoders at the start of every case and added Motive Power as needed.
- We added a ”run to position” code so the robot would reset itself and it’s encoders so it could back up the correct amount.
- Zach:
- Zach moved the string to the other side of the standoff.
- Zach and Charles:
- Zack and Charles attach new surgical tubing fingers on to the mineral collector.
- Drew and Zach:
- Drew and Zack attach you both to holster the robot and keep it low.
- Drew, Cameron, Charles, Zach:
- Drew, Charles, Alex, and Cameron practiced driving and picking up and depositing minerals.
