Team 1261

Hello everybody,

The two priorities for this meeting will be:

* Mounting the intake subsystem onto the lifting subsystem
* Mounting the lift subsystem onto the chassis

RSVP in this thread.

Of the lifter, sorry. Edited original post.

I know we are talking about using a piston to hold it up, but I don't know how we can get the intake roller to deploy and reach out past the bumper zone.

Weather permitting, as far as I know, we are meeting on Saturday.

Thanks for the CADs, Sunny.

Sill trying to think of a deployment method though of the lifter... will try to get on that

Programming: Paul, Julia, Samir, Malav, Bailey, Nitant, David

* Line follower sensors - If I recall correctly, FIRST will provide for us the line follower code. However, they seem to have not posted the 2011 technical resources yet. Be on the lookout
* Dashboard/GUI - Imagine two 3x3 grids ...

IMO we should make our rollers work first and then have the vacuum assy as back up.

I think that two vacuums will have plenty enough force to keep the ball in place, but lining up with the ball was a total hassle.

Agree with curving the kicker. I suppose we could CADD it... (by we, I mean Tanner ...

Leave it to FIRST to change the rules after week 1.

All of those times where we accidentally drove under the ball would no longer be counted as penalties.

[sarcasm]Woo, go FIRST.[/sarcasm]

I will have an extremely basic scouting template by Thursday for the scout team and I to fill out.

Chiefdelphi is the most depressing website I frequent.

Technically, -1/0 is infinitely large.

Kapp wins.

That's almost the exact same shape as my chassis. They also "stall" at the top for a second, then come back down hard.

I think we should add about 80 pounds of dead weight on the robot and see how it fares over the bump.
