2010:Mechanical

This is a sample entry for an Engineering Notebook Entry

1.14.2008 Start time: 10:00 End time: 20:00 Members present: Eric, Jeff, Shauna, Cristian, Mike

Tasks completed: 1.) Gyro code to drive in a straight line, turn arbitrary # degrees in place 2.) Code to execute multiple autonomous movements one after the other 3.) Defined OI pinout for LEDs and switch inputs 4.) Wired up 2 DB-15s for use with OI LEDs/switches 5.) Got IR board output reading function written

Tasks to complete: 1.) Write gyro-based code for turning 180 at the end of the field - 3 different "cases" based on starting position - partially complete as we had a gradual 45 deg. turn working on 1.13 evening 2.) Write encoder-based code for driving to the underpass in 'poking' position - partially complete based on Shauna's code, but needs to be integrated with gyro-based 'drive straight' code 3.) Work with mech. team to understand how we need to control arm to keep us in the 80" cylinder. Ugh not again. 4.) Determine 'Robocoach' commands based on the autonomous modes listed in http://penfieldrobotics.com/forum/index.php?topic=1732 and the current capabilities of our robot 5.) Meet Tuesday night right after dinner and review our tasklist/plan for the rest of the season
