Focus of The Day: Furthering the Autonomous

Posted on January 3, 2016


Work on the Autonomous

Isaac worked on upgrading our phone to the new Motorola phone. He also made a new laser printed case for it because the other did not fit.

He also spent time working on fine tuning the autonomous. He made corrections and made it simpler from a coder’s standpoint. He did a few tests and was able to score more points by climbing the mountain. At its best it scores 15 points above what it used to score because now it goes to the high zone.

Binder Work

Wilson researched fundraising ideas. He thought of making luggage tags that our team could sell. These would be red and white, and have our logo on them. He also worked on making our binder and adding the rings. Our binder is now ready for us to add the paper material.

Python practice and Powering the Mechanisms

Shanti worked on learning Python. She went through tutorials as well as doing a challenge that Isaac made for her to teach her more about it.

She also worked on the movement between the collector and dumper. She then figured out how to power both the mechanisms with one motor.
