Week 4 — The Building

Kitbot: The drive and shooter subsystems were done and ready for testing. Upon testing, there was a programming issue revealed as the motors were working without code. We also started to work on the climber subsystem that we plan to add onto the kitbot.

Mechanical: Started to make drivetrain for the competition robot.

Electrical: We wired the kitbot and rectified any errors we made along the way. We tested the kitbot and made any other edits we had to, after which all the electrical work was done and we were able to do testing.

Carpentry: We finished constructing and painting both outposts, all of the trenches, and all of the bumps. We are nearly finished assembling the funnel for the blue alliance hub.

Programming: We finished programming the kitbot code and were ready for testing. But it turned out that the code was not working properly as intended and we tried some troubleshooting to fix the problem. It turned out that we did not schedule the commands properly and that some of the commands were not made properly and decided to fix the command next week due to lack of time.
