*Tested compound lift system: 1::3.33 connected to 1::3.33. Lift was powerful as expected but deemed to slow for competition. We re-designed to single gearing 1::4.83.
*In Progress: Replicating "Sword" feeder system on a larger scale
*Because of the new lift system not being able to go rotate into a vertical position, we opted for a chain-bar lift similar to "Swords" initial design.
"Sword"
*No progress on this robot today. Still waiting on parts to complete 8-bar lift.
*Feeder system becoming loose with continued testing. Will change from keps nuts to nylock.
Programming
*Continued work on the line feeding system. Key goals is to increase speed while maintaining reliability of the previous code
*Conducted inventory of available sensors. We only found 1 working to use for "Shield". Will have to order more. We plan on using 3 on each robot.
*In Progress: Writing code for an arc turn
*In Progress: Writing code to use integrated encoders in conjunction with line sensors.
Day 4 Tomorrow :D
