4/4 Test

by at

Purpose of Test: Fix the last part of the robot code

1st run (3:20, Course G): Robot successfully completed all of the course except for the hitting the blue button.

Changed: Programmed the robot to hit blue button and then hit final button.  The rest of the code was commented out.

2nd Run (3:30, Course A): Robot successfully hit blue button but failed to hit final button because it didn’t turn enough.

Changed: Increased turn before robot hit final button

3rd Run (3:36, Course H): Robot failed to hit final button because it turned to much

Changed: Decreased turn before robot hit final button

4th Run (3:40, Course F): Robot successful hit final button

Changed: Wrote code to have robot hit red button and then hit final button

5th Run (3:45, Course C): Robot successfully hit red and final button.

Changed: Included the rest of the code.

6th Run (3:52, Course A): Robot failed to navigate to light to read button because it overshot.

Changed: Decreased forward before reading light

7th Run (4:00, Course F): Robot failed to navigate to light to read button because it was too far to the left and too short

Changed: Group realized it would be very hard to achieve precise positioning over light, so the group decided to wiring up 6 Cds cells to decrease error.

Hitchcock Hall Room 214

Meeting Agenda:

  1. Prepare for final competition
  2. Fix the last part of the robot code

Meeting Notes: 

Everyone was present for this meeting. The whole team was interviewed by Ohio State’s communications department about the robot and the process of building it. After this, Tom and Shyon tested the robot for final competition and fixed issues that came up. Dean worked on testing logs and helped out with testing. Outside of class, he soldered 6 CdS cells and mounted them on the robot, so it wouldn’t miss reading the light. Meghan helped test the robot and worked on documentation.

Future Actions:

  1. Prepare for final competition

Hitchcock Hall Room 214

Meeting Agenda:

  1. Performance Test 1
  2. Pseudocode
  3. Order more parts

Meeting Notes:

Everyone was present. Tom helped team accomplish Performance Test 1, reworked the SolidWorks model to include shaft encoders, ordered screws, shaft encoders, and axles, and started to work on pseudocode assignment as well. Shyon sanded the skid along with Dean and updated the website meeting notes. Dean sanded the skid and also found the right screws with Tom for the skid. Meghan helped with Performance Test 1 as well. She worked on the website, made templates, began testing logs, updated meeting notes and picked up items from the store. The robot was successful on the performance test on its second attempt.

Future Actions:

  1. Implement shaft encoding on robot
  2. Fix chassis issues
