Team Planning
Agenda
The agenda for the Programming team is to set up the GitLive Plugin to collaborate on future programs or projects on the GitLive workspace.
Our original platform, Floobits, is unavailable due to an upcoming update around the same time as Android Studios updated.
On the agenda for the hardware team, it was to continue the intake system and start building a couple of the axel wheel assemblies.
Reflection
Today, we manage as a team to successfully install GitLive, each individual was able to join the GitLive workspace and work collaboratively together.
Although there were some minor issues with this process, Ahmed and Shaurya help the team members using different ideas by having the individual share their screen.
The future goal is to be able to use this platform for programming our code without any issues.
The Hardware team completes a big wheel axel assembly. There are still minor adjustments to be made to it. Overall, the group improves our understanding of the intake mechanism from what they have seen in GoBILDA videos. This will allow them to effectively follow the concept while making it their own and improving upon it however they see fit.
For now we can see the progress in the system and some working theories on attaching the intake system in the ideal place on the chassis and at the correct angle.
The angle is perhaps one of the most important parts so as to not interfere with the picking up of the ring or the positioning the ring in the holding area from where it is going to be shot.
Hardware
Agenda
For now, in the interest of time, we decide to use the model chassis that is already assembled instead of rebuilding the whole chassis again. During this session, we fasten some of the chassis parts together, considering that none of the parts are fastened. We are working on rebuilding the large wheel assemblies for the intake with some modifications. We are also finding the parts for the set of disc wheels. Some additions have been made to the chassis.
Reflection
The first complication is when we discover that the parts were not fastened together.
Our main efforts through the meeting are to try to fix that problem.
We also have minor issues figuring out the axle's dimensions but we work through it as well.
We plan to get a good part of the intake system done next meeting and perfect the fastenings of some of the parts we worked on today.
One of the rhino wheels in the axle assembly, has to be flipped because the rhino wheels don’t have the same amount of indentation on either side like the Gecko wheels the GoBilda team used. Since we are using rhino wheels instead of Gecko wheels, because of the lack of the parts on OnShape, instead of using clamping collars for the Rhino Wheel axle assembly we are using GoTubes as well as clamping collars.
We plan to finish these assemblies next meeting as well as make the other two wheel/axle assemblies necessary for the shooting mechanism.
This is the first big wheel assembly of our intake system. These are what you can call "the frontlines" the ones who are meant to make contact with the rings first. It is essential that this system be well built unless we won't be able to load any rings unless we start out with 3. As you can see the orientation of some rhino wheels still need to be fixed because the assembly isn't exactly symmetrical.
We are still ironing out the details but for now we plan to attach our intake system using beams. Our largest feat will be to get the correct angle on the intake system. It must not touch the floor but be at the correct angle to lift the ring and lead it into the shooting system.
This is a photo of both the disc wheels that we are using for the smaller wheel assembly of the intake system. This also includes the GoTubes we plan to use for the big wheel assembly.
Programming
Agenda
Our goal for today is to install the GitLive Plugin and begin collaborating together on the GitLive workspace.
We had to make this adjustment because Floobits, the plugin that we were using until now, stop working because of its update coming out at the same time as the Android Studio update.
Reflection
As a team, we start off by installing the GitLive Plugin on our computers step by step. During the process, we encounter some minor issues with this step. Actually joining the workspace to collaborate with each other is an obstacle as well.
If an individual has a specific problem, we have them share their screen in the zoom meeting and exclusively help them to solve the problem.
Abriti’s Android Studio also stop working correctly. So, Ahmed and Shaurya help her to reinstall Android Studio and get it to the stage it was at before.
As a group we try many different ideas, brainstorm and go over the whole process together.
Though hard work, research and patience, we are able to go through each step of the process together carefully. As a result all the members on the team are able successfully join the GitLive workspace correctly.
In the future, we would like to be able to use Github Live without any problems and be able to collaborate like we used to with Floobits. This has been a great start, but even though this was a minor setback, we plan on making and improving our autonomi on this platform going forward.
This is what the GitLive Plugin looks like. The names of everyone active on Android Studio and there are a few buttons on the side. Those include the pencil/pen button, which lets you collaborate with one other person, and the settings button. The other buttons are not compatible with Android Studio.
When you click on someone's name in the plugin, the pen/pencil button will light up. When you hit that button, this pops up. It’s asking the other person to accept the invite to collaborate. Once they accept the invite, this popup will go away and you can see the other person’s cursor and changes.
