Today I remembered that I have to update this. Day one we decided to use a swerve drive due to its high maneuverability and the lack of things on the field we might run over. We chose to use a 28x32 drive base to give enough length for Hang and enough width for the Cargo mechanisms. Yesterday the drive base was sent in for welding and the battery box design was finished. Today the plate to mount the 120A breaker was finished and the lengthwise crossbars were moved in slightly so that Hang would have more room. The back halves of the wings on the belly pan were removed today after hang said they wanted more room, and they were added back two hours later after Isaac informed me that Electrical needs those and the belly pan could just be moved away from the drive base using 3/4" standoffs. On Tuesday the plan is to make those standoffs, test fit the swerve module covers, and maybe start designing bumper mounts if there's time. Also need to continue working on the superstructure, which should take priority over designing bumper mountings if Alex isn't here. | Today I remembered that I have to update this.

Worked mostly on superstructure design today. The current plan is to have supports going diagonally from the top of the conveyor to the back of the drive base, intersected by supports that connect to the middle of the drive base. We need to make some angle brackets tomorrow and finalize the placement of frame supports. | |||

Today I remembered that I have to update this. Day one we decided to use a swerve drive due to its high maneuverability and the lack of things on the field we might run over. We chose to use a 28x32 drive base to give enough length for Hang and enough width for the Cargo mechanisms. Yesterday the drive base was sent in for welding and the battery box design was finished. Today the plate to mount the 120A breaker was finished and the lengthwise crossbars were moved in slightly so that Hang would have more room. The back halves of the wings on the belly pan were removed today after hang said they wanted more room, and they were added back two hours later after Isaac informed me that Electrical needs those and the belly pan could just be moved away from the drive base using 3/4" standoffs. On Tuesday the plan is to make those standoffs, test fit the swerve module covers, and maybe start designing bumper mounts if there's time.

Worked mostly on superstructure design today. The current plan is to have supports going diagonally from the top of the conveyor to the back of the drive base, intersected by supports that connect to the middle of the drive base. We need to make some angle brackets tomorrow and finalize the placement of frame supports.
