After over a week of debate, strategy, and many proposed ideas for designs we have finally settled on one design. This design revolves around an arm with a shooter on the end of it specializing in the ability to pick up off the ground, shoot in the speaker, and hang on the chain. This design also has the chance to shoot in the amp if the arm angles correctly. On Saturday, January 13th, we split off into three groups, one for each subsystem. Each subsystem, chassis, arm, and shooter had to be designed individually with communication between each group to make a final product.
The shooter group came together to design an effective main plate that all axles and wheels will be connected through as well as holes for motors and connection to the arm. On top of that, we started to design panels for the upper and lower sides of the shooter to hold the note in. At first, our plate looked pretty good but when trying to assemble it all together we realized one of the holes was too high up, not making enough contact. In the next meeting, we will need to fix this and continue assembling the shooter.
