Sunday 11/17/19


Date: Sunday, November 17, 2019 (We didn’t meet Saturday because of Missoula Theatre
Agenda: Plug in everything, Wire management, GET DRIVING!
In Attendance: Coach Cynde, Hayden, Connie, Sean, Liam, Kairon,Tristan
Note Taker: Sean
Tasks: Test the robot ,Driver practice and Autonomous
Reflection: Now we stress! Meet 1 is next weekend and somehow we have not tested Autonomous or had any real driver time. Fingers are crossed that everything functions and our programmers can get everything together today!
We spent too much time on wire management in the morning without testing the motors firtst. When we tried to drive the robot and move the arm after lunch, everything went wrong. Straffing did not work, the arm didn't work at all, and the rest of the afternoon was basically figuring out that motors were plugged in wrong and needed to be rewired by hand tracing the wires to the source. We had no time for driver practice or autonomous and frustration was at max.
With guidance from Mentor Chris, we retraced wires and connections and corrected the mis-wiring. We tested motors and checked the positioning of our tires using our tire diagram. We spent the afternoon correcting issues and had no time for driver practice or for programming autonomous. It was a frustrating day.
