Game Plan 9/14

9/14

Brainstorming- Block 1 (Kathryn)

Drivetrain

Challenge- Making sure it is small enough to get around but big enough to hold what it needs to hold

Challenge- Having to turn easily and without taking up too much space

Challenge- Making sure the robot is tall enough to go over objects

Solution/Idea- Watch carefully to avoid making it too big. Test to make sure it can hold what is necessary 

Solution/Idea- Separate motors for each wheel.

Solution/Idea- Big enough wheels to make sure it is lifted enough-nothing hanging down

Intake

Challenge-Making sure that it is not too cluttered 

Challenge- It can get the cones that are standing up and that have fallen over

Challenge- It needs to have a good grip on the cone 

Solution/Idea- Using the first design in this video 

Solution/Idea- Tweak the design a little bit by maybe making it have the ability to rotate.

Solution/Idea- Making sure we use wheels on the intake for griping

Lauren Ramos: Block 1

Today, we started to build the robot for the Best robotics competition. We haven't started to build the official design, but we have a plan of what the build will look like and how we will create it. Today, we worked with some practice materials to teach ourselves how to work with all of the supplies. 

For practice we:

we practiced programming by using the FTC virtual robot.

Today we just brainstormed some ideas on what the robot for ftc should have and some challenges we will be facing and how our build can overcome them.
