Re: Who is finished???

we are almost done with our arm's first joint, working on the second joint on the bottom now *hint.* We test drove our base around already which has a good center of gravity, can climb ramps, be a ramp, and can pick up ringers from the ground. bumpers and side panels with team sponsors and # done too! However, our drivers definitely need practice. they drive like my 2 year old nephew with his toy car.

Re: Who is finished???

We received our non-powder coated, practice robot frame back from the CNC shop on Monday, and we have that assembled. Once our second frame comes back from the CNC shop and powder coating, we'll cease work on the practice bot and work on the real robot.

Our powder coated frame is due back to our shop on Friday, where we can hopefully get the drive chassis done this weekend. We set an overall robot target completion date of one week before ship to give enough time to program it and to allow our drivers enough "stick time" to learn the robot inside and out.

We just finished the CAD models today, and shipped them off to be machined. Does that count?

Re: Who is finished???

Our team tends to think...and re-think...and prototype...and think a bit more...then suddenly decide to throw it all together and the 'bot is done in about a week.

Re: Who is finished???

Depending on how you count, we've made less than zero progress so far -- we partially disassembled last year's robot.

Re: Who is finished???

We're no where close. We've got a chassis assembled, with the base support for our arm tower and our ramps attached. We also have the transmissions done and most of the ideas/parts for what we're using, so I'm hoping things will come together pretty quick.

Programming has done a lot of planning, discussing, and looking at example code form prior years/other teams. This is only our second day coding, but already we expect to have working drive code by the end of Friday.

Electrical has been designing their system and gathering components, and were figuring out placement of components today.

well our drive base frame should be back tommorow from getting powder coated, I've worked on the code on our practice frame/bot, and our mechanism will be finished on saturday (since we don't have time to build it during exam week)... I'd say we're a good percentage done thus far..

Re: Who is finished???

Our programming team has drive code, and modules ready for the rest of the operator code ready, we just need some final decisions on what we're actually going to do so we can code it. We also have the camera tracking and are working on a function to center on the goal, which seems to be going nicely. The problem is going to come in distinguishing between the different lights... But all seems good.

Our build team has a chassis put together, gearboxes assembled, we're just waiting on wheels and then we will have a near ready to drive robot. Our track system thing (I don't quite know how to explain it) for getting up the height needed is assembled... without motors, but it's still good. Good prototypes for picking up the tubes also.

Electrically we have a control box done (it's pretty nice imo, switches and all mounted), and we have a mock up that should be good to put on the robot as soon as the chassis is finished.

Our media team has done deans homework, faxed and emailed letters to everyone it seems. Besides that they are making buttons... nonstop. =P

Animation looks promising this year also.


But finished? No way. I wish =P

Re: Who is finished???

I've been coding on a kitbot for the past few weeks, and hold in my heart no hope of seeing a proper robot before me any time soon.

That's ok. Kitbot and I are becoming close.

Re: Who is finished???

Lets just hope you guys don't do what we did last year.


-We went to kick off.
-Got very excited and got our KOP
-Started brainstorming
-*thinking*
-Ship date come
-We put our KOP in the crate and ship it out
-arrive at regionals ready to build a robot
-very confused that other teams were able to build their robot's before we even got there
-Then we smacked our selves for thinking that we had to build the robot at the competition, and we had 6 weeks to think about it.

hope this helps out the newbie teams!
--Dan

Re: Who is finished???

I'd like to say we are done but no we haven't even finished our chassis we are still waiting for wheels so we can get them spaced right then it should all just fall together. I hope.

Re: Who is finished???

We're almost done with the chassis I think, whatever almost done means, we'll end up changing or adding something a week from now when we have the electrical on.
