After the "big find" yesterday/success of the side rollers, the team was a little slow today in terms of working on things other than the intake. Part of this can be blamed on having an early morning meeting, but most wanted to play with the intake, as it is so far the most effective mechanism the team has ever built.
Shooter
Today we took the surgical tubing off again to work on the intake. Basically, the shooter has been put aside over the past couple days, but we will most likely start working on it again soon.
Intake
Today we went ahead and put on the second side roller, so the intake now had the side roller consisting of a BAG motor and a Banebots wheel on both sides. This took up a decent portion of the day for the kids working on the intake, and the rest of the intake time was taken by programmers programming the newly added motor.
Drive Base
Today we finally finished our official practice bot's drivetrain, so all that was left was finishing adding the rest of the electronics onto the bellypan and making the frame to begin remaking everything on the prototype practice bot out of tubing and other more visually appealing and structurally sound material.
Approximate times of working: 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM
