The robot has been shipped! Roadway picked up the robot at 2:15.
At the robotics meeting the final sleeve design was chosen. We are going to go with a tube with the game name and 2007 team info, but the text still has to be enlarged. The t-shirts will be printed next week.
The autonomous mode needs to be compeleted. This cannot be done until the wheel that broke on the prototype is replaced and an elevator is added to the front so that we can measure height and practice with sensors. The camera might have to be angled.
Some things need to be completed for the robot and they will be put on the robot on Thursday of the Milwaukee Regional. Backups for the arm and elevator need to be designed. A way to keep robots up on the lifts needs to be designed. A motor has to be attached to the elevator.
The Sussex-Hamilton practice session on Sunday went well as far as practice goes. The robot drove well, but had some problems with the radio. The autonomous mode was not tested. We stripped one wheel, but don't think that the wheels can be replaced with aluminum wheels because the robot is already about 2 lbs. over weight. The team won the Sussex-Hamilton Chairman's Award, good job Ben, Molly, and Kyle.
All coffee money should be turned in to Mr. Jappinen ASAP.
People going to the Milwaukee Regional on Thursday are listed on the board in Mr. Blersch's room above the sign in sheet. The whole team will attend the regional on Friday and Saturday (if you sold 5 lbs. of coffee). The absence form and process will be discussed at later meetings, which are still held in Mr. Blersch's room during activity period.
Next weekend is the first weekend for regionals. Our team will not be competing, but members should still watch the competition broadcasted by NASA to see how the game plays and strategize. A link will hopefully be posted on our website. It can also be found through FIRST's website.
The animation has been posted and the website will be submitted by Thursday.
