WildStang\u2019s Mechanical Subteam<\/span><\/strong>
\nWildStang\u2019s mechanical subteam has tested all of the previous week’s major additions and revisions on the robot. The subteam has also been taking apart different mechanisms to fix errors. For example, when bearings on the robot were used the carriage would pop out when the robot drove sideways. So, \u2018drylin igus\u2019 rails were added to further constrain the carriage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Plus One\u2019s Mechanical Subteam<\/strong><\/span>
\nPlus One\u2019s mechanical subteam has assembled their gripper mechanism and their intake has been installed. These two important components are currently being tested. The team plans to have scoring capabilities this upcoming week!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

WildStang\u2019s Electrical Subteam<\/strong><\/span>
\n111\u2019s electrical subteam has put foam sheets on the battery card for storage. The subteam took leads off the old batteries; they have been put on the new batteries. The subteam has also mapped out the new LEDs on the robot. The LEDs are used to initiate human-player interaction. The yellow LEDs are used for cones while the purple LEDs are used for cubes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Plus One\u2019s Electrical Subteam<\/strong><\/span>
\nPlus One\u2019s electrical subteam has been working on and revising the pneumatic pistons for the robot\u2019s claw mechanism. The subteam has also been adding new leads to the new batteries while replacing the old batteries. Also, they plan to add a chain guard in order to clean up the wiring in the robot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

WildStang\u2019s Software Subteam<\/span><\/strong>
\nThe 111 software subteam has been working on and testing the robot. Specifically, the subteam has been focused on improving and revising the limelight code. The subteam has started the debugging process when reviewing the programming. The subteam hopes to soon test the automatic alignment systems in the upcoming week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Plus One\u2019s Software Subteam<\/span><\/strong>
\nThe 112 software subteam reviewed the portable intake code and they have begun to update the code. The improved portable intake code is ready for review. The subteam plans to upload the new code to the robot and begin testing and revising.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

WildStang and Plus One\u2019s Joint Strategy Subteam<\/span><\/strong>
\nWildStang and Plus One\u2019s joint strategy subteam have been working on scouting training. The strategy subteam has been watching and reviewing information that other teams have posted on Chief Delphi. The subteam is preparing to collect information and data when other teams’ robots are revealed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

WildStang Robotics Program Communications Team<\/span><\/strong>
\n111 and 112\u2019s joint communications team has submitted both the Woodie Flowers Award and the Impact Award. The subteam also wrote and posted the week 4 blog post. The REV Robotics Valentine\u2019s day post winners will receive REV merchandise; WildStang has been selected as one of the 7 winners!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
