Start time: 6:30pm
End time: 9:00pm
Members present: [Josh Goodman, Michael Montemalo, Alex Wolf, Alex Vadas, Tresten Rosati] - [Mike Wolf, Dave Vadas, Kevin Lloyd]
Tasks completed:
- Prototyped first system. This is the "chicken plucker" gathering or projectile device. This consisted of pneumatics tubing. For both projectile and sucking in, this device worked very very well.
- Redesigned jam portions of our robot. Changes include:
* Roller or brush mechanism to sort balls into hopper or shoot out
* Tie the two conveyor belts together using a figure eight connection
* Make the conveyor and feeder systems independent
* Create a movable blocker ("trap door") to create only one flow of balls at a time.
- Looked at conveyor costs and parts on McMaster Carr
Tasks to complete:
- Prototype more gathering systems
- Discussion about belts and conveyors and which ones to use
- Finalize design and start putting more details in (i.e. materials, weight, motors, etc.)
