Jackson will work on the adjusted budget; Trevor will work on the report outline and import the pages into the website. The team decided what parts we needed for the base bot. Aidan will help Zach build the robot and code the base bot to make it work for checkpoint 1.
Agenda for meeting 3/8/23 9:00 AM
- Discuss the best method to read the light for the kiosk task
- Discuss whether a light filter will be useful
- Discuss strategy for Checkpoint 2
Notes 3/8/23 9:00 AM
Attendance: All members are present
Topics – Checkpoint 2 strategy, usefulness of a light filter, best way to read light values
Decisions:
It was decided that a light would not be necessary as long as the CDS cell can be lined up pretty well with the light. It was decided that the best way to line up the robot with the light was using a bump switches to allow the robot to consistently reach the same positions each time. The strategy decided upon was to work on reading the light values and then work on pushing the button from there.
Agenda for meeting 3/23/23 4:00 PM
- Discuss Checkpoint 3 logistics
- Discuss changes that need to be made to the forklift
Notes 3/23/23 4:00 PM
Attendance – All members are present
Topics – Different methods on how to push the fuel lever down,
Decisions:
It was decided that extra weight should be added to the plate of the forklift so that the plate can push the lever down with the help of gravity. Extra weight was temporarily added with the two clamps that were included in the tool bag. Later in development of the robot, the plate of the forklift will be made heavier.
Agenda for meeting 3/27/23 8:00 AM
- Discuss strategy for Checkpoint 4
- Discuss if any changes to the robot will be needed to be made
Notes 3/27/23 8:00AM
Attendance – All members present
Topics – Best way to line up with the lever of the passport and best way to flip the lever over to complete the task
Discussion:
The team decided to use bump switches and shaft encoding to best line up with the lever. The robot would bump into the front of the passport shell while the robot is going up the less steep ramp. Then with a combination of bump switches and shaft encoding, the plate of the forklift is lined up with the lever. To lift the lever, it was decided that the forklift should be lifted up as much as possible and then the robot turns a little to the left to knock the stamp over, thus completing the task.
