Workshop
Date: 10/28/18
Time: 8:00-12:00
Attendance: Justin, Tommy
Plans/Goals
- Go to workshop
- Scout other team’s designs and learn more about mechanical design.
What Was Accomplished
- We got help from 8404 Quixilver in implementing the EnderCV/DogeCV vision libraries.
- 8404 Quixilver shared some mechanical tips regarding electronics mounting.
- We drove straight.
- We got a basic working auto by driving straight into the crater, scoring anything between 25-50 points.
- Learned about team’s materials and drive trains.
Notes/Additional Information
- Our robot did not drive straight because our left motor was a Gobilda 50:1 and our right motor was a 25:1 due to a mechanical oversight. We will have to create a checklist for robot design to make sure such a mistake does not happen again.
- Gears mounted to the motors had significant slippage issue dues to Tetrix set screw mounts.
Reflection/Takeaways
- Removing the big arm helped with center of gravity and center of mass issues.
- We need to more securely reinforce the drive train with extrusion since the front and back wheels have significant splay.
- The side mounted rack and pinion
