Work Completed

  • Happy Bag Day
  • Malia verified her revised gyro cable works. Hot glued the solder area to seal & support it
  • Vasista fixed Saba's 2020 code to actually work for tryouts
  • Billy ran tryouts
  • Started to lay out electronics, but didn't get far. Can't do much if the motor controller & roborio plates don't exist yet.
  • Gathered motor controllers and put them in labeled bags for shooter, drivetrain and other.  We have just enough new + used controllers for 1 robot, but we'll need spares, so Adam will order some

Challenges

  • everything

Work for Next Meeting

  1. Finalize placement of Rio, PDP, motor controllers, pcm/vrm, pneumatics

  2. Continue testing vision stuff

  3. Get "Rotate_To_Limelight" command working on Robot-2020 code on Octa
  4. See if we can get the limelight to tell us distance-to-target for setting shooter range/speed
  5. Until we have a working turret shooter to play with, we can continue working towards making the robot rotate to align to a target using shortest path, but also handle cable bundling we'll have on the turret.  Meaning the turret won't be able to spin > 360 degrees, it will need to rotate the other (long) way sometimes to keep slack on the cables. We haven't written PID code like that before, so something to explore.
