2021-06-01 Meeting Minutes - Arm

Caleb

• Link part properties to templates (author, material, revision, etc.) → Templates done and linked to properties

• Continue work on end effector

• Add template guide to confluence

• Continue work on end effector

  • Start up creating a 4 bar model to calculate the forces we'll have (analytically)

  • Start looking into FEA on the claw

Austin

• made an Am-0915 curve and put it in prototype 1 page, it seems very weak although I may be misinterpreting values

• FRC hardware hasn't changed, (bag + 300:1 versa + 3.33:1 belt drive)

• joint CAD halfway done, will have it done for thursday for sure. 

• Joint 2 CAD

Medina

• Select motor, gearbox and reduction

• CAD joint

• Continue CAD for joints 5 and 6

Ali

• Select motor, gearbox and reduction

• CAD joint

• Continue CAD for joints 3 and 4 

Jasmine

• Help Ali with joint 3 and 4

• Create a testing procedure for the prototype

Keyon

• Select motor, gearbox and reduction

• CAD joint

• CAD for joint 1

Ethan

• 3D print end effector to test, then laser cut and test → ready to go to a metal design

• Design metal end effector (for iteration 2 of the arm)

Mathieu

• Control Scheme in progress

• Figure out what encoders we need for iteration 2

• Figure  out what encoders to use for iteration 1

• Help with joint 1 CAD

• Figure out a part numbering system

Haseeb

• Custom arm controller
