Summary for Friday (2/13) workday:

  • Worked on rollers more
  • Figured out that the ABS was going to be too big to just screw onto the PVC, so slivers of the ABS were cut from the piping and then fitted onto the PVC.
  • We were able to cut the conveyor belting into strips and mounted most of them onto the rollers
  • All the ordered materials arrived: encoder mount, extra round tubing, and the conveyor belting
  • Replaced the wires and crimps on the electronics board (crimps kept falling out, and some of the jaguar wires weren’t the correct size)
  • The battery mount was screwed onto the frame
  • Mounted two more triangular plates on the frame for support
  • We were photographed by our school’s yearbook team

We managed to finish 1 and a half of these rollers, but we need a total of 3.
