Work Completed

  1. Started wiring the electrical board: mounted RoboRio and started to wire the motors/motor controllers
    • Decided that RoboRio shouldn't go directly in the center (at risk of being hit by the intake). As a result, we moved it to slightly to the side (wires should be able to compensate). 
  2. Worked on vision, specifically finding the distance to the target

Challenges

When finding the distance to the target, we need the angle of the limelight and its height. However, the current limelight on Octa isn't what is going to be on the actual robot. Therefore, it's important that we keep track of those two pieces of information while making the comp bot. 

Work for Next Meeting

  1. Continue wiring motor controllers, PDP, etc.

  2. Continue testing vision stuff

  3. See if we can get the limelight to tell us distance-to-target for setting shooter range/speed. Try out the limelight's PnP feature.

  4. 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.
  5. Continue following the trajectory tutorial. Pickup from just after the characterization tool.
