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.
Week 3 & 4 Technical Post Design Technical Teams: Chassis, Intake/Indexing, Shooter, Tower 1. Summary During Weeks 3 and 4, the technical teams finalized prototype testing and shifted into a strong design phase focused on CAD development and system integration. The chassis group completed chassis CAD, tested vision systems using the Limelight and RoboRIO, and refined swerve module encoder testing. The shooter group finalized hood and baseplate designs through testing and extensive CAD work while refining shooting angles and adjustability. The intake/indexing team completed subsystem CAD integration, added a pivot mechanism, prototyped hopper belts, and finalized coding structures while refining designs in CAD. The tower team prototyped hook designs, researched optimal gear ratios, advanced elevator CAD development, and began preparing code for future testing. 2. Focus for Weeks 3 & 4 In Week 3, the primary goal was completing prototype testing and finalizing subsystem...
