Work Completed

Got a pretty good design for the feeder that is ready to be presented:

Basically uses two smooth wheels which pop down at the beginning of the match above the bumpers. The wheels overcorrect inward and are spring loaded to the frame so they are versatile and can suck the cube at many orientations. Once the cube is sucked it is placed inside a frame with traction tread to help keep the box secure as it is lifted up (possibly will you pneumatic clamps to secure back of box if we need). Uses the wheels for both intake and outtake.

Note: Yichen and I switch subteams and moved some people around --> possibly address this next meeting.

Challenges

We are not sure if our current design will provide enough support and need to think of maybe adding pistons to clamp the box

Work for Next Meeting

Pitch design and start thinking of ways to prototype.

On Schedule?
