2/7/2014 Day 34: Finishing the Bot

Today was finally the end of the whole process of building the practice/duplicate bot, and we went ahead and got the robot ready for testing for tomorrow.  Today consisted on primarily finishing wiring and pneumatics routing.

Shooter

Today we went ahead and attached a couple loops of the surgical tubing to the shooter, mostly to make sure it all worked.  Also, we went ahead and went through latch stuff, making sure the latch was just fine, and both cleared the bar and was able to return to hold the bar on the catapult.

Above is a picture of the current practice bot, and us attaching the surgical tubing loops.

Intake

As before, nothing happened with the intake, but it should finally be used and tested tomorrow morning.

Drive Base

Today we finished the rest of the wiring and pneumatics for the robot, as well as the routing, so we could have the robot ready to go tomorrow morning for testing.


Today we went ahead and finished painting the other sides of the gussets green, so now all we have to do is rivet everything together once the anodized metal gets here.

Approximate times of working: 3:30 PM - 7:30 PM
