Agenda:
- Talk
- Work on ramp
- work on navigation program
- weigh pucks
- measure hinged board panel and figure out screw placement
What Happened:
- I worked with John on the measuring of the starting panel. we measured one inch in from each side to find the correct placement of the 'X' wooden board stand. After discovering that the panel could not fit because of the placement of the other screws, we moved it around until it woul fit well. when there was a perfect spot for it, we measured about 4" in from the ends to find the placement of the screws. We didn't have the screws with us, but the drilling spots are marked.
- Ian discovered the weight of the pucks in grams, which was 1.962 oz
- Ian and Kevin worked on programming.
- Jeff showed me two examples of motor design. one put more stress on the gears, and the other was much more efficient by splitting the weight.
- Kevin worked on a design that would bring in and hold the touch sensors to they were at least 6" apart. The wheels are 10" apart.
- We all made a big mistake in that you acnnot plug in touch-cables through metal ]=. The design for the touch sensors was built wrong so the cables could not plug in correctly.
-Ethan Dedrickson
- I massed one puck and found it had a mass of 55.6 grams.
- I worked with kevin on programming some basic autonomous functions
- we worked on writing code to go forward until we see a line and code to use the motor encoder
-Ian McBride
- I worked with Ian on the navigation code and on a better mount for the touch senors, as mentioned above it did not work.
- I was able to determine that the pucks wiegh 1.96oz.
