Task Plan for Build Week 10

[mckartha]

Build tasks to be completed during Build Week 10 between 2023Mar12-18 Week in-between Competition Week 1 and Comp Week 2

I think that @WJiarong wrote this list on the board so maybe he can interpret some of the items that may be vague or unclear - some of these tasks also appear to be done already

Suggestion for for 3-4 groups today is:

Please edit/add/update/delete items on this list to correct any mistakes or inaccuracies as necessary

Ideally - team members working on one of these tasks would turn that bullet item into one or more Github tasks/issues and then update this list with that task number so this list provides easy access to those tasks.

Drive / Programming teams:

• [ ] confirm that the robot is drivable with bumpers first (with or without the arm installed)
  • [ ] work on PID tuning and speed control (low/medium/high) controllable by the driver
• [ ] work on auton balancing routine and ideally a balancing routine useable at endgame

Mechanical Arm team:

• [ ] improve/reassemble arm and grabber
  • [ ] see list from Sunday
• [ ] reinstall arm and test that it’s working properly/well enough and get limits, etc set
• [ ] make sure code supports arm/grabber capabilities and test
• [ ] work with drive team to test arm functionality in prep for drive testing at Chelsea

Bumpers & Logos:

• [ ] continue to improve the way we attach bumpers so frame is not damaged and bumpers fit better
  • [ ] make sure bumper numbers do not look like a logo (remove rat eyes)
  • [ ] figure out if there is a better way to attach the bumpers - maybe with clips, lever fasteners, toggle bolts , etc.
• [ ] determine whether/how to color print or vinyl cut sponsor logos (or do both)
  • [ ] figure out how to attach sponsor logos to plexiglass triangular panels
  • [ ] test attaching panels to the robot via velcro or figure out another way to do it

Camera/Vision:

• [ ] mount the camera and RPi and start to use it for driving and test for cone/cube pickup
• [ ] decide and/or code how vision will be used by the robot
