Master Task List

Design robot.

Build robot.

Test Robot.

Sub Task List

- Control Board in Inventor: The current drive train design is almost complete in Inventor this means that one of the kids can start drawing in the control board.

- Check all Batteries: The batteries should have the tape removed and crimps checked and redone if needed. Larry is talking about buying a power meter that will graph the battery.

- Experiment with Line Sensors: Pull out a power supply and scope, find out how the sensors work, and test range and sensitivity.

- Measure Mach 1511 Polycarb: This is the thickness of the polycarb to use on the control board and order a sheet.

- CAN Bus: Make two Serial to CAN converters, two CAN terminators, four CAN cables

- Safety Light: Wire up the Orange Safety Light

- Communication Signals: Plan and design human player communication lights, this is being discussed on the forums, may or may not be used.

- Motors: Inventory and test motors.
