Indexer Update
Indexer is being officially made in cad. Todays class was used by creating mounting plates, putting mounting holes into the top base plate, and critiquing the index design by moving the 6in omni wheel flushed with the kicker. Among other final assemblies updated with our new design. I think there's a lot measuring and perfecting that has yet to be done but good progress has been made with a clear outlook.
Climb update
Today we had a big-picture discussion about the robot's overall design. Some other subassemblies are changing, including the kickers which now only have a little over of six inches of space between them. Everyone was in agreement that, given that we essentially just lost a week and are now facing issues fitting the elevator together with other subassemblies and the battery, it would be best to prioritize a smaller and more reliable climb, namely the original telescoping arm prototype. Once we have this L1 climb done and we're comfortable with it, we can continue experimenting with going higher, but at least until the first competition the arm should be our focus.

The arms should be placed at 80° angles 7in from the front of the robot. The outer tube should be 13in long and the inner one should be 12in

The output gear that is connected to the 12t sprocket cant be bigger than a 36t gear because of constraints of having to go through the bearing holes of the ribs of the base

Climb Update
Climb Update
Climb worked on mounting the arms to the base in CAD, and Ryan (mentor) was very helpful in figuring out the motor and gearbox mounting and integration into the full robot assembly.
Shooter Update
Shooter Update
The plates are all lightweighted now, with Moon Knight and Khonshu plates made for the outside. They are still subject to change. The motor has been moved to make room for climb as well as drawings being started. The majority of the parts are final with the exception of a few tweaks to the plates if we decide to change the logos.
