Built 4 Swerves, they are missing their magnetic encoders as we do not have the CANCoders at this point. They are also missing the grease on the gears and the screws mounting the Krakens do not have Locktite. The extra parts, bottom mounting plate, and encoder securing hardware are still in the box because we can't put them on just yet. We have 10 new SDS MK4n swerve modules using Kraken x60's as the driving and steering motors. We intend to use 4 swerve modules for a Alpha bot, and 4 for the final robot, leaving 2 extra. We are leaving the built swerve modules on the drive base shelf in the shop closet. | |||

We built 2 more swerves today, we moved the 4 new CANcoders onto the Drivebase shelf. The current status of all six of our assembled swerve modules is: They need the CANcoder magnet Loctited in place, they need the CANcoders mounted along with their protective covers, the gears need to be greased, and the motors need to be Loctited once their position is solidified (7 bolts). We have 4 more modules left to assemble.
The dual wedge cage grip prototype was assembled out of wood and quickly tested on the mockup cage, it was not assembled great and will need to be refined and maybe 3d printed based off the CAD. Other ideas for gripping the cage were also tossed around such as using electromagnets for hanging from the cage.
For algae, we CADed and prototyped an intake and outtake system. We made a couple of different designs, but our main efforts were put towards an over the bumper intake. We tested ones with wheels on the tope and bottom as well as just on the top and found that wheels just on the top worked the best. we also found that having around 12in of distance between the wheels and the bumpers. We also prototyped a mechanism that does both algae and coral (AKA the calgae). It is a claw that on the outer part is wider for the algae, and doubles as a funnel to the inside for the coral.
