Tasks Completed
- Completed some preliminary dimensions on the Electrical Controls layout.
- Some preliminary dimensions are:
- LxWxD 11in x 47in x 10in
- 18in width for the drivetrain, 11in width for the "computer" and 18in width for the arm, manipulator, and other button functions.
- We are looking at a design where the controls are folded into a letter "U" with a "hat" that forms an enclosure. (Provides protection)
Tasks In Progress
- We need to determine specific joystick and button layout locations. This will allow us to determine whether or not we need to bias our controllers a certain x or y distance to accommodate how the controls will be folded.
- We need need to determine the type of joystick for our manipulator.
- Are we going to rip apart an existing joystick and convert it to a throttle?
- Are we going to rip apart an existing joystick and convert it to a throttle?
Tasks to Complete
- Determine a way to utilize signal lights to indicate game pieces.
- Layout our design in a deliverable form. (CAD file?)
- Materials used for the mounting the joysticks and other buttons need to be determined.
Materials Needed
- We need some cardboard or some easy manipulable material to prototype our controls.
Sketches from tonight... NOTHING IS FINAL.
