Team Six/Journal
Day 1: 1/9/12
Hello, world! There exists a wiki.
In the beginning Redshift created some design ideas and the Pegbot. Now the Pegbot was pretty square and also didn't drive straight, darkness was over the Pegbot because it didn't have sensors (although the camera showed promise).
Quotes
Bianca: Can you talk and solder at the same time?
Will: Yes, but I might burn myself.
Tej: Do we really need to test this again?
Will: It will make me feel really good.
Day 2: 1/10/12
Split into two groups--Bianca and Will on mechanics, Tej and Ryan on software.
Bianca and Will: Went to Stata loading dock; got lots of rollers, gears, axles from printers. Mocked up a shooter mechanism. Shooter will have two wheels (same as drive wheels) driven at 300-400rpm by a geared up drive motor (as it stands now). Came up with initial design for robot as a whole. Will will CAD up shooter model and possibly robot too.
Tej and Ryan: Worked on mocking up overall software organization. Worked on getting Checkpoint 2 ready--inconsistent sensor readings. Problems: analog/digital pins different; problems with arduino.py?; lagging, etc. You should update with more details.
