Down to the Wire

Aiya~ only 2 more official meetings and then we're off to LA!

• Program

• entire joystick program is operational and the configuration is up to date

• Skyrise pick-up

• Elizabeth designed a passive intake

• prototype - built in a cylindrical shape from a steel plate with rubber bands on either side for more traction

• Emily and Maria brainstormed mounting options

• prototype - we bent single bars in different lengths to find the best size

• PROBLEM: The skyrise pick-up is interfering with the cube pick-up and vice versa. We can only have one or the other. The fix we came up with (lengthening the bar pulling out the skyrise pick-up takes us outside legal competition limits)

• Option: build both pick-ups on separate bars and mount one or the other on the robot depending on the alliance's capabilites in a match
