STARTING ON THE WEEKEND AT 10AM THIS WEEK. Be there ... or be triangle. :D Remember, you can drop in at any time and leave at any time.
Week three is almost coming to a close (scary)! And good luck to anyone who's still doing finals.
What was done today
0) Nine girls came in. :) That makes me happy.
1) Worked on transmissions
2) Worked on hubs (?)
3) More elevator cutting (I think we just need to angle the supports, but don't quote me on that)
4) Worked on the banner for the website (and completely reworking it to be within GS regulations)
5) Started prototyping another type of claw
6) Cut shafts
Of
course, I only know for certain the things I worked on ... so I hope my
half-hear-half-tell covered everything else that happened today. But
the bottom line is, we're moving forward! (Well ... mostly)
What's getting done next
Mechanical: Getting a rolling chassis!
Mechanical: Cutting parts of the elevator for welding!
Mechanical: Designing the claw!
Electronics: Get plastic (from Tap, probably), and metal (1/8"); design/cut battery box and compressor plate
News
Um ... the claw on the 2007 robot ... fell off
(a few days ago, actually). The little wooden block that held it up
split in two. I hope we don't have to do any demos soon. :) Basically,
that means we aren't going to be able to drive that robot around
(unless someone fixes it. Could be you!). This is easily fixed by
putting on another little wooden block on. Ideally, though, we could
get a somewhat more mechanically sound metal bracket on.
