Re: Week 3: Where's your robot?
We are taking on a few tasks simulataneously.
Our chassis is being fabricated and should assemble very quickly once the remaining parts that we need arrive.
Lifting mechanisms are nearly complete in CAD form, though nothing has been done as far as fabrication for those parts. Parts for those mechanisms will be ordered tomorrow.
Grabbing mechanisms are still in the prototype stage with two main contenders vying for final implementation. That decisions relies somewhat on the final design and abilities of the lifting mechanisms.
I'm doing an unprecedented amount of feedback integration onto the robot systems this season -- moreso than anything I've done in previous years, but not necessarily anything to get excited about. Our autonomous strategy relies less on pie-in-the-sky idealism and more on determining what our robot is best at doing on the field and accomplishing that task autonomously.
