WEEK 5: 02/09/24 After having a battery issue earlier in the week, we worked on fixing a fried SPARK MAX motor controller, a damaged NEO motor, and the wiring of the battery. We hope to implement a more meticulous process in checking the status and wiring of batteries. Many of our batteries had loose connections […]

We got a 3 note auto sequence working and got the shooter and ground intake working how we wanted. We are currently trying to implement vision to help us with autonomous even more. We also are also working on getting lights coded for the drivers to use. We are having issues with the gyro which

We started to work on basic auto commands but were struggling getting the command to run. We are still having some issue but it will hopefully be fixed very soon. Our vision progress is going good, we have gotten some data from the lime light and are working on using the data.

We fixed our Auto and started making more complex commands. We are also working on tuning our auto PID to make sure the robot runs how we want. We also got the shooter to run smoothly and scored in the speaker. We are implementing sensors on the shooter to detect the note. We have also

WEEK 4: 02/02/24 We started the week by fixing batteries. There was an issue earlier in the week where the batteries we were using for a testing drive caused the robot to shut down. Through inspection, we realized that this was because of loose connections. After fixing that battery, we checked the status and connections

WEEK 4: 02/02/24 This weekend we finished up assembling the shooter and the intake. Initially, we made the intake out of MDF material. One of the mechanical team mentors, Mr. Eggert spent the night cutting the material using laser technology.      WEEK 4: 02/04/24 Our intake is ready! We had spent the weekend melting

WEEK 3: 01/26/24 We started the week by checking the quality of batteries. Due to the battery needing to be connected to the robot, there was a section of the panel that was removed near the front. This caused us to have to move back the PDP and change the wiring of the motor controllers.

WEEK 3: 01/21/24 We started the week by building our new chassis. We spent the day tapping holes into the metal as well as sorting screws for the new robot. Soon, we finished the H shaped chassis and we were able to teach newer students how to transfer the swerve modules to the new robot. 

We had a lot of issues with the drive but after changing the library we used we got it working. We have autonomous code written but is needs to be tested. Good work has been done on the vision and we are still working on getting the location from April tag.

WEEK 2: 01/19/24 We tested photoelectric sensors to see which sensors are the most effective for the intake and the shooter of the robot. WEEK 2: 01/20/24 We started planning and wiring the electrical board. We reused wire from other robots, so they are not all the perfect length. In the future, we will cut
