1. Docs

Summary

Updated daily log. Brainstormed other docs to do. Pictures taken.

Changes

Pictures taken of each field element using aerial and side view for documentation. Victoria and Mike agreed to store design iteration files (CAD) and pictures in a folder on the shared Microsoft OneDrive. Pictures also taken of chassis part by part to possibly compile a picture slideshow showing the growth and development of the whole chassis.

Decisions

In the Gitbook, we should begin adding individual Docs, Field Elements, Hardware, Software and Wiring sections to talk about their development and parts.

Concerns

Research requirements of awards.

2. Field Elements

Summary

Worked on seesaw.

Concerns

Finish seesaw.

Hardware

3. Summary

Piston shooter tested and optimized to make viable.

Changes

Piston elongated. Shorter tubes between the piston and solenoid.

Decisions

Piston shooter is viable for shooting into the high goal.

Concerns

May want to include a small ballast downstream from the solenoid on the retract valve. We should complete piston design and continue finishing chassis.
