Team Leads: Matt D. & Kyle B.
Prototyping 1/5/2020-1/11/2020
Overview: Based on initial team brainstorming and sketching, as well as theinformation from Strategy Subteam, we determined to prototype:
- An over-the-bumper intake:
- A thru-the-bumper intake
This decision is critical as it affects Drive Base!
- Test using various componenets touching the balls:
- Test brushes
- Test wheels
- Test "hot dog roll" - a material wrapped around a rod that grips the game piece well and will snag it.
- Test mecanum wheels to direct the balls into the robot in a manner that can be counted or indexed.
- Combinations
Observations: We observed the following over the course of prototyping:
- It is not difficult to get the balls to go over the bumper.
Decisions:
- Intake will pivot out of the front of the robot
- Intake will be full width (relatively) of the robot
Need to do:
- DECIDE OVER-THE-BUMPER OR THRU-THE-BUMPER!
- If THRU, determine the size of opening needed in the Drive Base.
- Determine how the intake will interface with the Storage
- Test the interface
- Test mecanum wheels (on order)
- Test plastic mecanum wheels (being assembled)
- Summarize number (and type if possible) of motor(s) eeded for a full robot check.
- Start to figure out what kind of sensors are needed to controll the Intake and make sure we do not take in more than 5 balls.
- Do scaled, dimensioned, CAD sketches to confirm we wil be within our 12" frame extension limit
