Goals for Today:
Zach: My goals for today are to continue to fix the bugs with our robot such as ; blocks were getting stuck, the chains and sprockets needed to be re rooted to make the robot move faster than it was because we need more time so we sped it up I was also hoping to get some more testing and programming done because we have a competition very soon.
Tommy: My goals for today were to continue working on the programming for the first finished product of the robot. I also knew that there would be changes that needed to be made to the physical robot as well. I also planned to continue working on the robotics engineering notebook and filling it out with the documentation from our earlier meetings.
Ethan: not being to some of the previous meetings I knew a lot had been done however very little was done on the programming side of things so I planned on getting the robot to the point where it can sort through the first row of blocks somewhat reliably.
Accomplished:
Tommy: Today, Zach and I began talking about our strategy and how it compared to the current world record. When we discovered that we were only able to beat the autonomous world record, we came up with a reasonable idea on how the best team went about scoring and combining blocks. After we thought we knew what they did, we brainstormed ideas on how to top their score. Finally, we decided that the best way to do it was to grab two extra blocks at the end of the green row and the red row. This would get us to 145 points, which would put us 1 point over the current robot game record. Next, I worked on some of the programming with Zach and John. As we found other problems along the way, we made small changes to the robot to solve them. (more info in personal doc)
Zach: At the start of today's meet I worked with Tommy and John to fix things on our robot such as; the sprockets and chain needed to be re rooted, and the blocks were getting coght on the intake so we added a simple peice to make a smoother and reliable. We also talked about how to officially score on a table and looked at robot events.com to see the high scores. We also talked about our strategy and how we should only get 2 rows until worlds ( if we make it ) and how much 2 rows would get us and how good we would do ( the outcome was destroying the autonomous score and coming close to the current robot skills score) we also did some testing and got our robot to collect the blocks for a row
Ethan: I was able over the course of the day to get the robot to collect and stack the first row there are a lot of bugs like blocks stacking on top of each other and some very serious programming issues but we now know that our design should work.
To Do for Next Meeting:
Tommy: Next meeting, I hope to continue programming and working on the robotics engineering notebook. Soon we will be done the book up to date so that we will be able to continue programming for the full time period in the future.
Zach: Next meeting I want to continue testing the robot and getting more programming because we need to finish fast. I also want to almost or completely finish the robot engineering hand book so we can get that done with .
Ethan: I would like to improve the code to the point where our robot can grab and stack a row in under 20 seconds and do this at about an 80% completion rate (This is only for now)
