Meetings

Pretty much continuous meeting now every day after school.

Also Sat. Feb. 6. 10 am - 4 pm

Kicker assembly

Congratulations on getting a basic kicker going.

As you saw from the slider mechanism, more mass requires more impulse power to get it started. That requires either more elastic band tension or more distance to act on it (larger disk). We need the lightest possible but still widest "foot" we can make.

Still to do:
Build 1/4 field
repair mechanum wheels (Sorry, Andymark is out of stock on these)
add wheel extenders to the chassis and mount wheels and motors
design kicker to go on chassis
Programming - we can test the "new" targeting code on the old robot.

Kick-Off

Please meet after school Monday Jan. 11 in the Robotics room for our kickoff meeting. We need to brainstorm design ideas and talk about how the game will be played.
