Work Completed

  • Wired compressor
  • Mounted electrical board to the comp bot
  • Mounted 2 Talon SRXs for the climber with the integrated encoders
  • Billy & I did the majority of the pneumatic system
    • Hatch & Climber were done 
    • And other components
  • Installed the More Boards on both of the RoboRIOs
  • Wired the limit switches

Challenges

Limited room on the robot so finding space to mount things proved difficult

Not knowing anything about pneumatics

Work for Next Meeting

  1. Pneumatics (comp bot)
    • Mount and connect tubes to air tanks
    • Re-route some of the pneumatics tubing (use a cable carrier of some sort with the hatch pistons)
    • Mount and connect tubes to the other sensor as well (connects to the RoboRIO)
    • Wire the other sensor to the PCM
  2. Electrical System (comp bot), wire & mount...
    • climber back wheels motor
    • hatch arm motor
    • cargo arm motor
    • the ultrasonic sensors
    • the limelight
    • (and find a home for) the arduino
    • radio and ethernet switch (on the cargo arm mount)
    • light sensors
    • string pot & regular pot
    • LEDs :)))
  3. Robot Code!!!
    • Talk to Marlow & Sam about buttons and controls for the robot (as of now climber and drivetrain is on 1; hatch and cargo is on 2)
    • Update constants for everything that has been wired on the robot
    • Get ready for testing soon :)))
    • Integrate ultrasonic sensors
    • Add code for limelight to drive to the hatch
    • Integrate line sensors to hatch pid
    • Single climber command
    • Cargo set points
  4. Wire electrical system & pneumatics of practice bot
  5. Continue the schematic for the electrical system using the schematic software stuff --> talk to Malia & Caden about this if you are interested 
  6. Line Followers & Arduino -> someone (who is not Bryn and is going to both competitions) needs to understand this and know how to debug it...
  7. Vision
    • Now that the gyro is working again, this should be worked on some more...
    • Drive robot towards vision target so the target is in view of limelight; then have robot drive to a specified distance and turn to a specified angle from the vision target (using a calibrated position and the tx & ty from the limelight)
    • Get Rotate_To_Angle_Limelight command working on Poly again.  PID will need tuning.
    • Continue learning how to use limelight
      • Specifically learn what all of the different values on the network table are and how they can be used
      • Continue to look into the Limelight documentations
    • Go to specified range from target (check case studies on limelight website & documentation)
    • Go to specified range and aim at target (again check case studies)

On Schedule?

Uh sure
