week 12 goals

12/8/14

Week goals: 

The goals for this week are to finally attach the bracket that will keep balls from going behind the tube. After that's attached, we will just work on making sure everything on the robot works as it should. This means we will be checking the code, retesting motors and servos, tightening screws, etc.

Week accomplishments:

This week we attached the servo to the linear slide, which flips the tube. It works well. Next, Martin replaced some of the servos in the front of the robot that are going to continuously turn to collect the balls. The reason Martin needed to replace them was because they were not continuous servos, and could only turn so much.

week 10 goals

Week goals: 

Our goals for this week are to attach a servo to the lifting tube. This will allow it to dump the balls into the point tube. It will need to be able to lift up on the linear slide when it flips, so we will need to program it accordingly. We will most likely need extensions so the servo can reach when the tube is lifted all the way.
