@Saheed Quadri @Josh Magder @Alex Szabo @Yuchen Lin

 

Availability:
@Josh Magder Need to grind until next weekend

@Alex Szabo Need to grind until next weekend (Can be in the bay and test stuff out)

@Saheed Quadri Not in bay unless need to

@Yuchen Lin Available online and back on weekends

 

What Teerestra wants from us:

  • Drivetrain + comms fully complete

  • positive growth(Social media + new blood)

  • What we can provide(we will accomplish SAR + How to make the team sustainable)

    • Make the promise as close to what we can accomplish

      • not too specific

      • overview of the project timeline

      • External deadline not aggressive(reasonable) → show responsible

What we need to do in order to make it presentable:


Mech:


D-shaft (June 18th)

Grip: hard to turn when there is enough grip → software? Another material? (mech is way more designed to solve it than software)

Tilted of the drivetrain: not modifiable → doable in 2 iterations? (takes a lot of time)

Battery mount completed: (June 21)

include the estop mount and pole for antenna

Note: keep the weight the same like right now

Electrical:

Not to mention the motor swap and removal PDB

  • if questioned, Not using PDB (revise PDB because of motor swap)

  • Borrowed state with UW react

Redo the current harness (June 16th)

  • Replace spark flex connector (buy more proper FRC terminal (precrimped?) Learn from youtube at least)

    • excluded from the deadline if it works (some are for sure need to be replaced)

  • PWM wire (resolder all of it)

  • Ebox Inside need to do cable management

Design kill switch circuit for STM

 

Firmware/ Software

 

  • handshake(drop link and reconnect)

  • increase radio power

  • Infinite Circling needs to investigate why

  • make the controlling algorithm smoother

 

@Saheed Quadri Send the email to teerstra by tomorrow evening!!!!

  • 2 * Video of driving

  • picture proof of a lot of people in work session

 

Make a public announcement after meeting with teerstra and talk to faculty mentor about it as well

 

Future roadmap:

  • @Yuchen Lin Read the SAR requirement

  • create system we need for SAR

  • Roadmap for all the system

  • Prepare some practical deadlines we can accomplish and setup with him

  • two major deadlines mid nov and mid Fed

Will schedule a formal meeting to discuss this

 

Recruiting plan!!!

 

we also need to inspect wheel grip issue
and let's get some backup parts  
2 * Buck(48 to 12 and 48 to 5)

1 * estop

1 * rf link(need investigate)

1 * STM l5 Nucleo

1 * solder

many FRC connector

1 * Helping hand

 

Not doing weef proposal

 

Future buying plan:
learning robots to impl custom ROS
