Today was just another day/continuation of the building aspect of things, pretty much other than the latch. Also, the parts, being tubing, gussets, and metal parts of the drive train, were delivered to be anodized, so those should be back between 3 and 5 days to work on. Since the first robot was the preliminary design bot, and the mechanisms were the preliminary design mechanisms, and those concepts haven't really changed much, we will be entering the second part of the whole detailed design process when we get the nicer parts back from the people anodizing them. For now though, as previously stated, we have to finish building this bot before any more design changes will be happening.
Shooter
We finally are finishing latch stuff for the shooter. Today we went ahead and drilled out holes and mounted the angle, so we could mount the piston and latch, although the two pieces of angle for the latch were a bit off center. Pretty much though, the shooter just needed to have the surgical tubing loops and wiring stuff finished.
Intake
As everything else is getting close to finished, and intake is already done, nothing happened with the intake today.
Drive Base
Today we went ahead and finished mounting everything needed, as pretty much all that was still needed was the battery area and finishing wiring.
Today we also went ahead and cut out the gussets for the robot, and spray painted each of them (just one of the sides, because it was too late to do the other side)
Approximate times of working: 3:30 PM - 7:00 PM
