Purpose of Test: Get a consistent, fast run for competition
Observers: Tom, Dean
1st run (2:06, Course A): Missed wrench deposit, had some trouble when pushing buttons. However, adding a line of CdS cells to the right side of the robot prior to testing worked well in reading the light.
Changed: How the robot deposited the wrench, has the robot do a 0 point turn before going to push the red button, because the robot kept getting caught on the panel.
2nd Run (2:10, Course D): Didn’t turn fuel crank enough
Changed: Angle when turning fuel crank
3rd Run (2:15, Course G): Cut it close on the wrench, was far right both times when picking it up
Changed: How far it moved back
4th Run (2:24, Course F): Kept dropping wrench when hitting into deposit station
Changed: Location of magnets on the bottom of the arm, lowered arm slightly to open garage without hitting wrench, then still scraped wrench off
5th Run (2:36, Course A): got caught when reading red light
Changed: Turn when going to push red button
