These past few days have been full of research and testing. The software has been attempting to research code to run during Autonomous and has been testing said code. We have also researched a software called Path Planner that allows you to draw a path for the robot to follow. Our hope is that if we can get the Autonomous code running successfully, then we can implement Path Planner to allow our Autonomous routine to be even more efficient. Today, January 25, 2024, we made changes and adjustments to the Autonomous code and tested it. Success hasn't been received as we can't get the robot to automatically move for a certain amount of time. However, we are getting closer to getting the code properly working.
Introduction The preseason of Robotics is an extended time period that provides training for the team along with important skill building, strategy development, and testing. During this time, the team focuses on improving their skills in CAD modeling, manufacturing, code development, and branding. Each of our team's departments has been working on specific skills related to their field. In the design and manufacturing department, the team modeled robot parts in a CAD program and stocked inventory for the upcoming build season. Meanwhile, the software team worked on modifying and adjusting the code of a smaller robot to simulate and learn coding for the team's future robot. The Team The Charge robotics team is an award-winning team at Cherokee High School that competes in the FIRST Robotics Competition. The team consists of three major departments, Design & Fabrication, Software, and Branding & Marketing. Each of these departments works toward a common goal of designing,...
