1/14/24 - CAD and Prototyping in full swing

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)

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 right)

One of our ideas for a mechanism to score a note in the trap

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).

Our base superstructure for attaching our intake/shooter mechanism to our robot's drivebase
