Update from 9-29

Recently, we noticed that the arms on my robot wobbled too much. So we set out to fix this. What we came up with was surgical tubing going from connection point of the two arms to a rail. As the arm moves to different positions, the support will move along the rail to line up and continue to provide support.

Many advancements have been made on the 6WD robot. The roller claw has been finished and added to the robot. On the 2nd stage of the arm, we've added a 5:1 gearing from the motor to the sprocket. This will make it so that the arm can support the weight of the claw and game objects. (picture 1-3)

The other team has also finished their intake system. They added gearing on the top of the tower so that it can pivot to reach higher towers. Testing for this mechanism will be most likely be done Saturay the 24th. (pictures 4-5)

There will be no updates on Tuesday the 20th or Thursday the 22nd.

Update from 9/1

In preparation for upcoming events. We've decided to create a sensor bot. Using the values/codefrom this bot, we will create autonomous codes for our competition bots.

For my robot, I've added the second stage of the arm. During our next meeting, I will prototype a roller claw.

There will be no update for 9/3 due it beeing Labor Day weekend.
