January 21, 2011 Meeting

Today, only I was present to work on the robot to prepare for the second competition we are attending. I worked on moving the arm controls downward in the robot, as well as beginning to remodel the hand. This will allow a more controlled lifting of balls and crates to the lift, improving accuracy and score.

I also worked on adding a system that will help guide the bowling ball to the robot, instead of involuntary releasing the ball. This will help us score more during the autonomous stage of the code. The position required for the internal side of the board was finally found, which was in the middle of the internal side with the robot shifted right at a 45 degree angle.

This was a productive construction day, which will help our entire team score better and hopefully make it to the state competition.
