Tweak autonomous during the fix-it window we're using tomorrow evening.

Re: So What do you have left to do?

Before Philly Regional:

Order some parts to fix a broken shaft, as well as stock parts to bring with us
Design and build a pit display
Order team jerseys
Strategy/Drivers meetings
Mess around more with programming
Make travel plans for nationals
Order signage/decals for robot with sponsors

And at the Philly Regional:

Replace broken driveshaft powering our arm
Tweak Autonomous mode
Replace KOP wheels with IFI traction's and Omni's
Attach more signage/decals/sponsor stuff

Not that much to do compared to last year. We just hit a snag yesterday practicing before the FedEx truck and broke a shaft, better now than in the semi-finals I guess. Just a quick swap out of parts, and we'll be good. Should be in at 8:30, swapped and inspected by 9:30, and ready to attend all practice matches from that point.

Re: So What do you have left to do?

During a Fix-It Window, I plan to finish the basic autonomous mode so that we just have to set a couple of variables at VCU, as well as polish the arm control routines and joystick smoothing/exponential lookup table set-ups for the teleoperated period.

Try white, or another rather weak tea. I find that it works wonders for banishing withdrawal headaches. I understand some pain relievers like Tylenol work pretty well for dealing with the headaches too, but I have had little luck with them.

Write an autonomous command parsing state machine and clean up the wiring when we get to Boston.

All we have to do is put the bumpers on, get inspected, and attend our practice matches.

Re: So What do you have left to do?

We need to put something on our ramps for increased traction
and attatch the ramps, and put another hinge on the top of them,
or find some onther way to decrease their height [about an inch over 5']
and if that wont work... we'll figure out some way of raising our wheel clearance..
good stuff, i forsee a busy day in the pits on thursday

we need sponsor stickers too...

Re: So What do you have left to do?

Heh, I think Manuallabor forgot one slight thing we need to finish. Our autonomous mode. We have a solid 2 CMU camera code and working gear tooth sensors, but we have yet to test the code that links them together. Our programmers will look over the code before PNW, but honestly Thursday is going to be a scramble to get everything working (as usual )

Actually, I just realized we forgot to mount a PVC pipe for the flag. Whoops
