Day 7
Blocky CAD/Geometry
Looked a lot at geometry for the trap, it’s proving to be quite a challenge! Our current plan is to have linear telescopes, however the challenge is the chain while climbing will need to be pulled quite far down, basically to the bumpers.
Vision
We set up a simple pair of april tags for testing for vision alignment to the speaker for our further shots. While it’s not a high priority right now it’s nice to have ready for testing generally when we have the time for it.
Prototypes
Intake
Intake cad was worked on so that we can cut a version of the inside outside intake we decided on yesterday. Still needs to be reviewed tomorrow morning.
Shooter
We also have a two parted shooter prototype prepared for testing. Since we decided on side wheels for launching yesterday, we still need to test compression and we also want to test 1 wheel per side or 2 wheels per side. One of our theories is generally the more contact time a shooter has the more accurate it tends to be.
