Pneumatics (Comp Bot):
- Connected tubes to disk brake on cargo arm
- Compressor works!
- When testing for the first time, we found many leaks, most of which have been fixed
- Replaced regulator --> we don't know if we have it set correctly...
Pneumatics (Practice Bot):
- Put basics components on practice bot
- I think they connected them with tubes as well
- Made mounts for the air tanks on the back of the robot too
- Mounted solenoid block I believe
Electronics (Comp Bot):
- CAN Bus (long CAN wires work but are a pain)
- Wired climbers with huge wire sleeve things (thanks Chris!)
- Wired cargo arm motor
- Wired hatch arm motor
- Mounted and wired cargo arm potentiometer
- Attemped to make it look prettier --> still needs a lot of work
- Battery connector (black cable connected to PDP) had severed since it was wired poorly so that was fixed...
Electronics (Practice Bot):
- Mounted and wired climber limit switches
- Mounted electronics board (and drilled holes through it potentially for wires and tubes??)
Code & Testing:
- Got rid of some issues using the simulator
- Everything worked well on the simulator I thought
- Then we ran it on the actual robot...
- Created IDs for CAN Bus on Phoenix Tuner thing
- Didn't crash but buttons didn't do what we were expecting
- Cargo arm worked
- Hatch motion worked in 1 direction, but not the other
- Drivetrain worked --> motor controllers need to be calibrated
- Did not test climber at all
- Hatch pistons (beak & moving the entire plate) and the cargo intake/outake were mapped to different buttons than the code specified --> issue with constants? issue with xbox controller class? idk something to figure out tomorrow
Other:
- I think Sam made a list of IDs on the robot but idk where it went
- LEDs began to get mounted which is fun and our frosted polycarb came in which is also fun
