Week 4:
January 27th- February 1st,2014
This week, the shooter was made to retract and shoot more efficiently while attached to the drive base. Additionally, many versions of intakes were built to see which one better suited the type of shooter we have.
The shooter was tweaked and revised to be placed on top of a primitive drive base and still able to retract and shoot with consistency and reliability. The shooter, now attached to a drive base, is configured to shoot at a constant 8 foot peak at the distance of 10 feet.
The intakes we tried varied in size and technique, to determine which one works best with the configuration of our robot. The one that will be used for the robot will be decided next week and will be integrated into the robot.
In the coming week we hope to finalize the various components of our robot. By the end of the week we hope to have a robot with driving capabilities, shooting capabilities, and intake skills.
