Work Completed

  • Resized Feeder Prototype because we wanted to have the cube partially sticking out of the robot instead of fully engulfed as we had previously designed. This required us to take the prototype apart and re-assemble.
  • We replaced the long 80-20 mechanical stops with a 2 piece bracket kinda thing instead, which was more secure and didn't look as janky.
  • We (maybe?) mounted 2 more green Compliant Wheels to the back of the prototype. The plan is to test if the friction from the four wheels will be enough to lift and hold the power cube (allowing us to not have a bottom base holding it up or a traction back holding it up. If it does not work, we will have to figure something else out.

Challenges

We had to pretty much rebuild the prototype so it was very time-consuming. But nothing too crazy.

Work for Next Meeting

  • Test
    • Are four wheels enough to hold the power cube?
    • varying speeds
    • does it secure cube when lifted up?
    • try a few different springs
    • how quickly/forcefully does it eject the cube?
  • Help lifter subteam and integrate

On Schedule?

hmmm.... week one is over....
