Exploring this project more I’m excited to get working on it. I spent this week working with everyone on the slides and doing some preliminary research/back-of-the-napkin math. I am anxious about some of the mechanical construction challenges but fingers crossed we don’t run into any major problems. I think that keeping our scope narrow we have a really interesting technical challenge and I can’t wait to see this robot come together.
Juan Pablo Weekly Status Report (2/20/2021)
The team seems to have a solid foundation for our project and should be able to put together an early prototype somewhat quickly. I believe we have developed a good system of splitting up the work and I personally don’t mind what I’ve been tasked to do. We look forward to diving into the unforeseen complications and adjustments we will have to make as we go along and this should not be a problem given the amount of time we have.
Juan Pablo’s Weekly Status (2/27/2021)
The presentation went well and after seeing the other projects I am more confident in the scope of our project and our proposed schedule. This week I’ve been looking into possible UI implementations and some of the methods we are going to use to optimize cup detection and launcher precision. With our launcher mechanism arriving we are getting closer to being able to start building our robot which we are hoping will go fairly smoothly.
