Shooter Pooter pt.2

Michael has been assembling the shooter while Tanner, Dylan, and Jason are maintaining the robot in top notch condition. I also making progress with the solidworks for our robot. We hope we can overcome the 11 days to begin our challenge. The design we are using is similar to the design of Nick's group so once we finish we have to test it to see if it works. We began to attach the gears to the shooter.

Shooter Pooter

Our team is working on our second objective. The team is testing the prototype with the motor and are making new revision design wise. Michael is taking charge of the design while Tanner is discussing the objective goal with Jason. Dylan is contemplating on the shooter.

Build

Today with finished the frame that make the robot a lot sturdier. Also we are determining the gear ratio that will work in order for our robot to shoot from a far distance. By doing so we will be to shoot fewer balls and score a lot of points.

New design

Today we changed the exterior design of our robot because the robot was to flimsy. Now we created a sturdier robot that doesn't shake when it drives by making a another frame using metal railing that covers the robot. Michael also began the design for the launcher by attaching the metal and wheels but all we have to do is gear and program the launcher.

Ideas

After completing the lift challenge for the robot now we have to build the launcher. Today all we did was find parts to create a launcher similar to nicks groups. We want to make a bigger launcher so we can use more motors and gearing so that we can shoot the ball further. So today created a design and got the metal to build it.
