2.21 Shooter Update
2.21 Shooter Update
Prototype shooter hood spacing is good! We need to have more mounts at the front of the plate for more structure to the front of the shooter.
First Time Driving
First Time Driving
Juniors Harrison and Arjun took a try at driving the robot and learned some valuable information. Make sure to check your swerve after an incounter with the gaph tape. But overall they both did a good job!
Wiring and Programming Update
Wiring and Programming Update
Limelights were tuned and updated, and values were set. They also worked on finding a good angle / position and a place to mount to.
Indexer Update
Indexer Update
On saturday there were changes made to the intake plates and indexer walls that should fix a big dead space within the indexer. We also realized that we need to lower the wall height of the indexer so we adjusted the height of the print to the lowest it could be.
Climb Update 2/21
Today we collected hardware to make sure we have everything we need to assemble climb when parts start coming back. Standoffs for the gearbox plate, 3D-printed spring mounts, and the drums are already done. With how many people are planning to use 3/8in Hex bearings, most of the gearbox bearings will be round and the Hex shafts will be rounded at the ends. Additionally, all of the gearbox spacers were done printing today, but in an effort to save time and material we made them so thin they would probably not be effective. New spacers were printing when we left the build session.
Impact Update
Continued working on the buttons as planed: we found that making the buttons with the small squares that was made when cutting them out looks better.
Continued editing Impact binders and thinking about how they wanted the script for the presentations to flow.

Kicker / Shooter Update
We've got the CAD almost done for the mounting of the dead axle for the shooter. Hopefully we have a few new parts ready and finalized by tomorrow.
Climb Update 2/23
We are still waiting for parts to be manufactured, but once all of them are out we will be ready to assemble. Today I made a few small adjustments to the CAD model, sorted hardware with their associated fabricated parts (of the ones we already have), and tapped holes in some of the gearbox Hex shafts.

Students went out with mentors and got a 4x8 sheet of Polycarb to use in place of our aluminum parts untill they are manufactured.

Climb Update
We are resorting to making our own hooks and gearbox plates. The plan for the hooks is to have two per arm, still inside the inner stage and mounted with 1/4-20 screws and lock nuts. As for the gearbox plate, polycarb versions were lasered today, but due to a design flaw the bearing holes are too small. We may be able to make them big enough to press fit the bearings, but even so we believe polycarb may be too flexible for our needs. From what we understand, there’s a chance we can use the router to have them made out of aluminum, which would be ideal.
