Heya! This is week six. Attendance today was lower than usual, we're missing Quinn, Augie, and Ford, but we've got this! There is a lot to do today and even more now that there are less people.
TORBS programming was done by Act of Liam, programming off where the others left off. This includes getting a pseudo subsystem in as well as a bunch of other neat additions. The TORBS team is using a rotating system to get the rings onto the pillars and making sure a motor does what you want it to is always going to be a little bit of an issue.
Not much griffon programming today, there is still a lot of work to do, but we've got it! The things left to to consist of getting the drivetrain actually running as well as setting up a limit switch for the elevator system. I don't think there is too much to do at this point other than to wait for the robot to come!
On the topic of the code learners, there was a lot of learning today! Everyone is starting to get really comforable with the Java basic and its honestly quite amazing. Act of Liam created this long list of them to do with random robot based challanges. This consists of making a drive train, working with smartdash board and so much more.
Captain 23 and some other people now and then made some serious progess on the swerve bot, both before and during practice. There was a good amount of math being done to figure out angles, but the result ended nicely. The robot is now starting to get PID tuned for turning. You can point in a certain direction with the joystic and it just points that way! I am so excited for what is to happen next
Overall rating of the day: 8/10
Huzzah!
