Today we did the following:

  • Finished assembling the rollers
  • Finally mounted the encoders
  • Cut all the plastic to size
  • Re-soldered and re-wired everything….again
  • Ran into a problem with the left motor, but it was just a connection problem
  • Started working on the driver station, and decided on a 2 layer station
  • Mounted the second level of electronics (the bridge, and 2 jaguars)
  • Made all the wires neater with zip ties
  • Figured out a way to mount the slope so that the orbit balls will come up better
  • Mounted the Fisher Price motor for the front roller, along with a sprocket, chain, bearings…
  • Bought bright, neon orange spray paint for our team number on the bumpers
  • Mounted two more triangular plates on the frame
