First, we added the ability to get the heading of the robot using shuffleboard. Next, we looking into running parallel CANBus wires to the gyro, but found out that we needed a add on to take multiple inputs and outputs. Since we didn't want to do that, we got the old gyro from last year and used that on the robot instead. After that, what we spent most of the meeting doing was troubleshooting the roboRIOs. We connected a roboRIO up to the robot chassis, but it didn't work so we think it was mislabled and is broken. Mr. Reicher is getting in contact with the producers of the device to see what the problem is.
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,...
