2024:Gamepiece

1/14/24

• Continued to CAD the shooter/intake mechanism and figured out some 2D geometries/measurements relating to robot interaction with source and trap.
• Worked on assembling prototype of mechanism (base assembly is mainly completed with the exception of belts and chains.

1/16/24

• Tested out a diffuse reflection sensor for sensing game pieces.
• Continued evaluation geometries for scoring positions in CAD (Specifically those relating to placement of game pieces in the amp and trap and acquisition from source) and analyzed potential scoring angles.
• Started CAD design for worm drive brake actuation.
  
• Continued assembly of our prototype mechanism (added belts and motors to prototype).
  
  

  CAD to analyze our robot's source pickup with our current intake/shooter mechanism.

• Replaced all red-wheel axles with both red and green wheels to make them grippier
• Did CAD design for a new mechanism attachment that puts notes in the trap (pictured below)
  

Our Claw Mechanism for the Trap

1/18/2023

• We continued work on our physical prototype of our intake/shooter mechanism (mechanical assembly is mainly complete, we are adding belts, motors, and wiring).
• Also, we did more work in CAD on ideas to attach our intake/shooter assembly to our drivebase, our current idea is an arm (pictured below).
  

Superstructure for our arm. The superstructure is shown on top of our drivebase.
