Day 20: Prototyping, Manufacturing, Programming

2011 FRC Build Season

Prototyping

Today, the minibot prototyping group continued to work on their small prototype utilizing small, machined concave-style wheels.  They attached tread to the wheels and worked on weight distribution.

Manufacturing

Today, the manufacturing team was working on all of our machines in the lab.  The lathe group worked on drive gearbox spacers.  The mill team was drilling holes and preparing the rear supports for the elevator.  Finally, the CNC group was milling several gusset plates for the elevator rear supports.

At the end, we were able to assemble one of the drivetrain rear supports.

Programming

Today, the programming team was here working on several crucial parts of the code.  Groups were working on the robot, simulator and dashboard.
