Work Completed
- took off feeder legs and attached feeder to moving cart to simulate moving robot
- tested if crate would go in on concrete floor while robot "moving" --> generally yes
- lengthened motor wires
Challenges
- crate gets stuck sometimes and enters diagonally only
- springs are lowkey bad
- wires too short --> get caught on the crate corners
Work for Next Meeting
- Test
- varying heights of feeder
- varying speeds
- varying distance between arms
- different angles & orientations of cube
- does it secure cube when lifted up?
- why does cube go in diagonally all the time???
- try a few different springs
- how quickly/forcefully does it eject the cube?
- Help lifter subteam and integrate
