Design
Driver #1's side of controls will be able to slide to the right and cover the laptop. This provides for narrow controls for transport. This will have a lock to is doesn't accidentally slide apart during transport.
The intent is to have a simple release mechanism.
Handles on each end for carrying.
2 joysticks for driver #1
- Y-axis: move robot forward/backwards
- X-axis: move robot left/right
- trigger: shift?
- button 2: lower center wheel
1 joystick for driver #2
- Y-axis: move lower grip up/down; controls speed of movement
- trigger: pulled means lower grips are closed (if needed, flip broken switch which means click trigger to close)
- trigger: released means lower grips are open (if needed. flip broken switch which means click button 2 to open)
- button 4: close upper grips
- button 5: open upper grips
- button 3: possibly use for 'level 3' preset, so tote is high enough to put on top of 2 totes created by human player
- button 6 (or 8): pull RC grabber back in
- button 7 (or 9): release RC grabber to get can
- button 6/7: could be used for presets (means 8/9 used for RC grabber)
N broken switches
1 3-way toggle for autonomous
- up: a pre-picked auto-mode
- center: no auto
- down: use auto-mode that is selected on SmartDashboard
Future Use
- 3-way toggle for future use (maybe picking which driver opens/closes grips)
- TBD
Laptop for Dashboard
To do
- Find data sheets and parts: 3 position switches, broken switches, handles
- Research latching mechanism
- Pin attached to movable part which will secure into a gate lock

- Pin attached to movable part which will secure into a gate lock
- Sheet metal drawings for boxes
- Determine which board to use for the joystick interface
- Lights?
- Ethernet port location
- Looked at a retractable option: http://www.cables4computer.com/Ziplinq/Networking_Networking_Retractable_CAT6_Gigabit_Network_Cable.html
- The option above needs to pulled from both sides, but we want to be able to pull from one side only.
- Research parts: Coil cable
- The options below need to pulled from both sides, but we want to be able to pull from one side only.

- Our only remaining idea is to use the retractable cord mechanism from the iron (above link) and insert our own cords (ethernet, power).
