Notes

Keep up the good work! We're back on track!

Work Completed

  • DT1 now has all chains and encoders mounted
  • DT2 now has all bearing blocks and the two gearbox assemblies mounted
  • encoder that was mounted on the bottom of DT1 was remounted on the top 
  • extra grease was removed from DT1

Challenges

  • the holes for the bearing blocks on the left side of the drivetrain were too small (`0.07 in off) so we filed them out 
  • the holes on the actual gear block assmeblies were too small for the bearing blocks as well so we decreased the circumference of the bearing blocks so that they would fit through the holes
  • TOO MUCH GREASE ON DT1!!!!! USE LESS NEXT TIME!!!

Work for Next Meeting

attach motor controllers to GB3 and GB4

attach encoders to DT2

attach wheels, sprockets, shafts, spacers to DT2

grease GBs (USE LESS GREASE) and run motors on DT2 (half hour per direction)

attach chain to DT2

attach "belly pan bars" to both DT1 and DT2

replace bolts on wheels (and locktite them)

 

On Schedule?

We need to finish all of the above by the end of tomorrow night. The goal was to have both DT1 and DT2 fully mechanically assembled by the end of the week on Friday, we are close, we just have lots of work to do tomorrow.
