Meeting 1/16/09

Attendance: Kevin Burns, Ian Mcbride, Tucker Brennan, Penelopy 

Agenda:

Make the gate

add motor encoders to the drive wheels

blog

Kevin: I help Ian design, draw, and cut the gate for the bucket. Later we found out that the bucket servos were not zeroed properly and that they could not lift a bucket with more than one puck in it. We were able to mount the gate and it worked fine. 

Ian: I worked on designing and building the gate.

Meeting 12/27/08

Attendence: Ian, Tucker

Agenda:

re-mount touch sensors

adjust the mount for the beam the second stage of the arm rests on

create bumpers for the rear touch sensors

What happened:

 We mounted the rear touch sensors further in the C channel and used some plates loosly screwed into the frame to create bumpers. We need to get and use a little lock tight to keep the nuts from falling off. We re-wired the touch sensors.
