Logan Weekly Status Report (5/8)
We were really happy with the progress we made last week. This week was really putting the final touches on everything. I attached the reloading hopper to the back of the device along with the affixing the Jetson in the case. I also tuned the distance function of the launcher to match up with the distance that the CV system sends over.
I started testing more to gather data for the launcher metrics. These tests are the same as the ones we presented but I just want to make sure we have a sufficient pool of data to work with for our final report and poster.
Overall I’m proud of what we made. I think it was an interesting challenge and I’ve enjoyed getting this up and running.
Team Status Report 5/1
This week we had a really big week of integration. We finalized the launcher, fabricated the final mechanism, placed electronics in the housing, integrated with the nano by finalizing the serial communication code, and began testing and calibration of the system. We spent many hours in techspark iterating on the launcher, landing on a design with a servo that gave us really good consistency in direction, with a little bit of variation left in distance to iron out still. The servo also allowed us to integrate our reloading mechanism.
Coming up this week is more calibration of launcher power delivery, and testing the robot in different lighting and table setups, as well as user testing against ourselves to see if we are able to play a full game.
