Engineering Notebook (due Thursday night midnight)

• Overall: Ray
• Hardware: all builders
• Software: Anthony, Ray
• CAD: Max

Agenda:

• With 8565:
  • Grant application status updates
  • Qualifier and scrimmage decision
  • Action item check (including Engineering Notebook)
  • Rule update check (Jerry)
    • can we touch opponent’s relic
  • Strategy discussion/show prototypes/test prototypes (check engineering notebook)
  • 3D printing planning
  • Inspiration book entry check
  • Presentation planning
  • help younger team to determine the roles at the tournament
  • Scouting planning
  • Autonomous code structure planning, tips and tricks (Brandon)
• Tune autonomous program for the robot
• Sign off last Engineering Notebook entry with Managers and Coach before leaving the meeting

Action Items: (Blue means completed, Black means ongoing and Red means uncompleted)

• General
  • Ray: fix 10/7 engineering notebook entry format issue
  • Ray: create team biography section doc following 8565 example
  • Everyone: update 10/7 engineering notebook entry per my feedback at the team meeting
  • Austin/Anthony/Melody: update the pictures in the Inspiration book with the pictures which show more participants actions and 12810 team members (I will review your individual entries at the next team meeting including Ray’s summary text)
• Hardware
  • Austin: complete linear slide motor placement and threading. The robot should be ready for both teleop and autonomous programming
  • Melody: prepare the labels for the DC motor power cables and encode cables. (need three label for each cable so we can quickly identify the cable in case we need to replace the motors during tournament. Pease get the list of label names from Austin.)
  • Audrey: continue refining the jewel ball mechanism (consider the other option from 8565; I am ordering the servo block parts to make your side rotation servo stronger )
  • Derek: complete the scissor mechanism with the new gear to come; start researching and prototyping the relic holding mechanism
• Software
  • Anthony: document the class diagram of the overall program; tune the autonomous navigation for a basic scoring of glyth into any column and park
  • Ray: program the tele op to score the glyph with linear slide
• CAD
  • Max: start learning the constraint in the detailed CAD model
  • Max: complete the 3D model of the cable holder.
