Notes

 Wired luigi (the battery), Luie gained some important experience with battery construction. Downloaded and installed eclipse on the driver laptop, then we added Java to it to appease Jack. Started the "Very Detailed Electrical Drawing" Thomas used this to force Luie to be schooled about what everything does. Thomas believes that the diagram will ultimately be used only for the test mecanum bot that we are making which is why it is missing a lot of components, wires, actual sizing, and any of the space limitations we will have on the actual robot. Jack also started a java program titled "test_mecanum"

Work Completed

downloaded+installed eclipse (this can be used for coding robot with Java)

started a "very detailed electrical drawing"

 

Challenges

downloading took a while and was incredibly boring

Work for Next Meeting

maybe work on the "diagram". needs wires and maybe have everything spaced out a little bit more intelligently. also work on the Java script that Jack made with eclipse. The progam should probably be tested and im sure there is something wrong for it. If the reader needs to figure out where to allocate motor ports (or where to send commands in the Java program) you can look at the RoboRIO for what every thing is plugged into. Work on Electrical BOM (Need components for 2 complete DT's)

 

On Schedule?

work on robo rio/Java

not sure what this means but im pretty sure we might have done something towards this, sadly we need to finish by today so im not sure if we have completed this specific "task"
