We spent the night before the scrimmage squishing a couple of bugs: The optical distance sensor would return near-0 values when the robot approached the border, causing our autonomous to fail. This was determined to be a result of the

Major Changes: -Added shooting capability for Autonomous (and teleop). Autonomous can now score both beacons and shoot two balls, as well as knocking off the cap ball and parking. The autonomous is essentially complete for this season but we will

The actobotics chassis is waiting on the next shipment to be completed. The shooter on the robot right follows the first design where a motor turns a spring or a stick, and this stick will get stuck on a beam which creates

Actobotics Chassis in Creo Parametric – http://www.3dcontentcentral.com/Search.aspx?arg=actobotics   I have been trying to install all the parts needed, and Patrick also gave me pictures of the chassis. However, the problem comes when actually trying to use the parts in Creo.

The new claw mechanism is able to grip the ball more tightly than the previous second version from basic testing. Additionally, it is within 18 inches. Here are multiple aspects of the current claw mechanism and why: 2 Flat beams instead of

This meeting was primarily a testing for the shooter, so there was no software development in the competition robot. Vuforia currently has problems with the libraries of the base Vuforia classes not having the class codes lining up. Samuel continued

We are looking into 3D printing cases for our new phones, the Moto G4 from Motorola.   The most common and universal file formats for 3D printing are STL and VRML. STL stands for “stereolithography” – it is a 3D
