week 4 video1
So the plan was to be driving by the end of our meeting on Sunday. We technically made it, but the maiden wasn't pretty and...
So moving forward to Monday... We got things wired enough that we could comfortably drive!!!
Yesterday we went even further and tested out our actuators and drove over some of the defenses before the battery died and we learned that all of our batteries are dead because chargers work better when they are plugged in. ;-(
We did manage to spin up our intake/shooter, and successfully get through the portcullis and low bar. We are going to try a skid plate because we got hung up on the rough terrain.
Didn't try the rock wall, cheval de frisk, or draw bridge.
For the draw bridge we may have to modify the arms a bit and we should know more on Saturday.
