2010:Integration 1.28.2010

General note:

Get designs done or there will be no robot! 

Designs must be done by the end of Saturday!

Mechanical 2:

Finished beater bar - works well, especially with helices of pneumatic tube. 

Must get it into Inventor. 

Working on getting main kicker into Inventor, should be done by Saturday. 

Need to keep the ball from going more than 3" in at the front.

Mechanical 1:

Finished drawing tubes/assembly in Inventor. 

There will be no springs! 

Will finish the mount in Inventor and look at hook possibilities. 

Need to know (from Mech 2) what space is available, and need to figure out the mount.

Electrical:

Mapped out PWM because the CAN...well...can't! 

PWM cables are already made. 

Need to think about where the board will go. 

May use all Jaguars (no Victors), but need weight estimates for both.

Controls:

Working on sheet metal piece, which should be ready to send out tonight. 

Buttons came in last night.

Programming:

Started converting to PWM, but still getting CAN bus errors. 

Will revert to base code tonight and test to see if CAN bus errors go away. 

Need code to make the robot drive and work the kicker. 

There will be a sensor for the kicker position - may be able to start coding for that.

Field:

Will work on putting foam on goals. 

Need carpet for at least one bump, to test whether the robot can climb the bump - this is a priority!

Drivetrain:

Finalizing parts in the shop. 

BaneBots transmissions aren't in yet.
