Today, January 22, 2024, Software made progress in getting things in order and ready for when we receive the robot parts. The gyro group that's part of Software switched out the new gyro with the gyro from 2023. We also began to research and find code to help with the autonomous mode of the robot. We made revisions in our code to match with the older gyro since our code revolved around the new gyro. We had to swap out the gyros since the new one took up too much power and we would need a new CAN bus to accommodate the needed amount, which means more money. Getting a new CAN bus would be too much money that could be spent on better resources. For the next meeting, we hope to research more on autonomous code and begin writing our own code.
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,...
