Agenda: 3D print some adapters, Work on arm design
In attendance: Coach Cynde, Sean, Liam, Tristan, Connie, Hayden
Note taker: Hayden
Reflection: We decided to lower the robot base by rotating the motor axels. It only lowers the robot about 1/2”, but we want a lower center of gravity this year, so every inch counts. Sean worked on printing some 3d print adapters so we can connect the new grabber arm.
Tristan mounted the Rev expansion hubs to a wooden board that was a previous side for the robot. We have decided to mount them to wood in our overall quest to stop Electrostatic discharge.
Liam worked on construction ideas for the arm to support the grabber. he will draw up some schematics for the Engineering Notebook.
Connie worked on adjusting the x-rail for the new arm. We may not use it for the final bot, but decided that we will build what we can to test now, even if it’s slightly too long or doesn’t fit in the 18” box. We can buy shorter replacement pieces or trim the one’s we have later. We already know that we want to make the grabber smaller with custom pieces later. Mentor Dan can help cut the x-rail or other aluminum pieces for us at home or at Orenco where he works.
We set up and scheduled the sponsor gratitude posts so that a different post will happen every day this week on Facebook.
