THE LIST - Techbrick/2020-2021-Wiki GitHub Wiki

Key

  • 🤖 in shop
  • 🖥 remote
  • 📷 hybrid

1) Fix intake mecanum wheels 🤖

  • Issue: Balls get caught off center
  • Mechanical issue with intake, fuel cells stuck between belt
  • 30min in shop to install bumpers and guide-y shafts

2) Figure out and document controller controls 📷

  • Look into code
  • Person: Max
  • 10% documented (according to Max), need a button map sheet

3) Mount climber 🤖

  • Need climber to hang on triangle
  • Need to find way to mount it
  • There is one pre-existing climber
  • Need more weight to use new climber
  • Neither was fully functional
  • Winch works
  • (In optimistic Kyle time) will probably do it fairly quickly with a competent blueprint
  • Kyle would be willing to design things for this

4) Programming language choice and tutorials 🖥

  • C++ is chosen
  • Max could teach people C++

5) Get auto tracking working 📷

  • Auto aligning shooter with goal
  • Interested People: Max, Ria, Ian, and maybe more people...
  • Modify limelight configuration to give distance and direction
  • Small group tutorial

6) Code to adjust spacing between fuel cells in different parts of the shooter 📷

  • Once we have fuel, they can get stuck if they are to close
  • Software and/or Mechanical
  • Ty's suggestion: photoelectric brake
  • Only some sensors are in use in software
  • Changing angle moves balls closer
  • Max has made diagrams
  • Ian would do some code

7) Code to hold shooter angle 📷

  • New tracking code to do vertical alignment
  • Try PID loop (with a chain this may bounce)
  • Block diagram
  • Easiest way: Pigeon IMU (motor control software can use it for built-in PID)
    • Need more than just normal accelerometer
  • Ria has volunteered!

8) How to center ball along path of index wheel 🤖

  • The ball can get skewed to the side of the index wheel
  • May be fixed by other things

9) Safety video 🖥

  • Deadline: Jan 14th, 2021
  • 2D or 3D drawings
  • Theme: Safety is caring
  • Topics: Kindness, Respect, Inclusion, Acceptance, and Teamwork
  • ≤ 40 secs
  • Interested folks: Peilin and Ria (will look into storyboarding)
  • Ria's idea:
    • Animation with robot and COVID and masks
    • Different kinds of "bugs"
    • Considering: Blender
    • Wenjie knows Maya but can look into Blender

10) Advertisement video(s) 📷

  • For outreach
  • Have recordings from last year
  • Montage w/ EPIC MUSIC
  • Ria can help here too (maybe)
    • Peilin too
  • Recruitment, sponsors, etc.
  • Shooter videos?
  • Just for us, "any" amount of time

11) Robot with bumpers on in future tests 🤖

  • Self-explanatory, we need to put bumpers on
  • This will help balls be centered in the intake

12) Boys and Girls Club Van ❓

  • Need to survey age groups
  • Expected date?
  • Get videos of participation

13) List of robot sensors and functions 📷

  • (added at Julius' request)
  • Currently only in RobotMap.h
  • Photos of locations!

14) Remote control & E-stop 📷

  • Julius is working on testing wireless module latencies
  • OpenVPN by Caitlin (or maybe Ian if he's bored)
  • Ry and SteamLink?
