March 23rd

Meeting Agenda 

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

Date of Meeting: 03/23/18 

Length of Meeting: 

Planned Topics: 

  • Work on complete run code for individual competition 
  • Observe new methods to increase accuracy and consistency of both the electromagnet pickup and the diagnostic light reading 

Meeting Notes: 

  • Code was worked on in order to combine the tasks from the performance tests into a complete run. 
  • Complete runs were tested, but none were completely successful. The robot had inaccuracies in nearly every aspect of the run. 
  • The robot would take extra time on some RPS checks and the 2-minute time limit was sometimes exceeded. 
  • Some RPS checks were taken out in order to make the run even quicker. 
  • The robot was tested at a higher speed than usual to test. However, this often triggered the phantom Y check error at the top of the ramp. This was looked at in the code yet again to no avail. 

Plans until next Meeting: 

  • Order 3-D printed electromagnet arm (Steven) 
  • Complete Electrical components documentation (Nick and Justin)
