Charge Robotics - Rebuilt Week 3 & 4

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...
