Week 5 Update
Video of Intake Motion/Gearing with new gearbox (read below)
This week Fusion360 crashed 
. CAD Slowed down a little bit but we still made good use of our time. Here is everything we went over:
-
Power Transmission and gearboxes. We made a new gearbox on the intake using pulleys and gears. Team Spyderâs Gearbox training was really useful
-
Gearing for our turret. We are aiming for a ~40 gear ratio and will use a 10DP turret gear cut on our CNC Router along with pulleys and other 20DP gears.
-
3D Printed Gears??? We got the opportunity to see some of Team Spyderâs gears1 who gave us some great info including print settings and design. Going to test this with both our intake & shooter designs.
-
Monday.com & Budgeting. We worked on setting up project management with Monday and have started piloting it in our meetings. We also allocated money for the off-season robot and announced our first summer fundraiser.
-
Put a target on creating software curriculum2 for our team. Getting groups of people to become âfluentâ in robot code is something we have struggled with as team
1. (PETG, 50-70% Infill, 12-15 Wall Loops, .20mm layer height, Bores on one side only to avoid supports)
2. Resources for Software Curriculum/Structure included 4481âs Build Thread and Spectrumâs Rec. Reading.
