Meeting Agenda 

Group Members in Attendance: Devin Fogerty, Justin Krantz, Nick Kurtz, Steven Prexta 

Date of Meeting: 02/07/18 

Location of Meeting: in class 

Planned Topics: 

  • Testing Steven’s electromagnet to pick up the wrench. 
  • Testing a mousepad’s ability to turn the fuel crank. 
  • Receiving and testing the proteus. 
  • Receiving and checking our toolkit. 
  • Discuss final combination of brainstormed ideas to implement on the robot. 

 

Meeting Notes: 

  • The electromagnet was successful in picking up the wrench. 
  • The mouspad was able to generate enough friction to turn the fuel crank with minimal pressure successfully. 
  • The toolbag was complete upon reception; no items were missing. 
  • The proteus received did not have the correct number label matching the rest of the kit. 
  • The proteus was tested and everything worked successfully. 
  • Final (very rough) robot design was decided upon: 
  • Omni-wheel drivetrain 
  • Electro-magnet on a rod 
  • Mousepad that will rotate 
  • Light and line-following sensors 

 

Plans until next Meeting: 

  • Write down personal schedules in order to incorporate into the design schedule. 
  • Gather materials for the mock-up robot.
