I'm available for any of the days in March.
We should also see if Eiger lab can get the band saw blade replaced.

We need some student and mentor volunteers to help the Boone County team
machine parts for their robotic arm. Please see the dates below and respond
with which dates you would like to help. I would like to shoot for 1 or 2
mentors and a few students for each meeting.
*Friday, February 25th (Already a full team meeting)
*Saturday, February 26th
Monday, February 28th (Already a full team meeting)
Tuesday, March 1st I will make this meeting
Wednesday, March 2nd
Thursday, March 3rd
Friday, March 4th I will make this
meeting
Saturday, March 5th (Already a full team meeting)
Monday, March 7th (Already a full team meeting)
The ones with a * I may be out of town for. The other ones as indicated I will
be at. Let me know who can make these other meeting dates.
Just as a reminder, here is a list of the things that we need to complete also:
1) Stop bracket for the minibot deployment arm.
2) Tweak minibot deployment alignments (I think we should attempt to
adjust the forward / back position on the deployment arm by a little bit. Who
knows... maybe 1/32nd of an inch might make it come off the pole easier....
It's an experiment we should at least try.
3) Possibly add a protector plate for the minibot and mount it on the
deployment arm.
4) Mounting bracket for the magnetic rotary encoder on the arm... (back-up
plan would be to tweak the mounting of the optical rotary encoder).
5) Robot overview and judges questions training
6) Scouting strategy session
7) Game rules and scoring training (whole team)
8) Driving strategy session
9) Gracious professionalism and competition behavior expectations session
10) Chairmans award presentation practice sessions
I'm sure I'm missing a few things... but this is a good start.
Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam,
We were finally able to get the bot running Monday around 5 pm. Just in time
before ship.
Weight may be an issue. It weighs about 105 pounds without the lift/gripper I
need to build and without the minibot deployment fixture. When we get to the
competition and get everything mounted, we will likely have to shed some
weight. I was estimating the lift would weigh around 20 - 25 pounds. I will
need to try to reduce the lift weight as much as possible without making it to
weak. I think the drive team probably has around 10 pounds or more in nuts and
bolts alone. They did not put much thought into weigh control when working
through the design. It will just be a fun challenge ahead :)
My plans will be to come over to your shop starting this Friday the 25th. It
would be nice to get in this Saturday, the 26th, if possible and then for sure
again next Monday, the 28th and most of next week. I hope I can get everything
made by the end of Saturday, Mar 5th.
Enclosed are a few pictures of the bot. The center of gravity is very low. We
have Mecanum wheels and a set of traction wheels to do some pushing if needed.
I will give you a call Thursday night to confirm.
Thanks,
John

Hi Adam,
Thanks for all the details. I will check with the others that plan to come and
let you know. We will not be able to make it over today or tomorrow. We are
still trying to get the bot running. We don't have any pneumatics connected
yet and only half of the wiring is done. It will be a miracle if we get the
bot moving my tomorrow night.
Thanks for all your help,
John

John,
We will be working on programming and practice fairly late tonight and from
noon tomorrow until 6:00 PM (we have our open house after that). We are pretty
much done cutting chips, so you guys are welcome to come by today or tomorrow
if you are ready.
Our meetings after that are on the following nights:
Friday the 25th, Monday the 1st, Saturday the 5th, Monday the 7th. Then we
leave for milwaukee on Wednesday and Thursday.
Myself and a few other mentors have agreed to split up the other nights you
might want to meet at eigerlab, so this week, you can let me know which nights
you want to work over here, and I'll make sure at least one of our mentors is
available to meet. Between these meetings, and having each of our mentors fill
in for a night, I think we can get almost a week of work in at our shop before
the Milwaukee competition. After that, we can evaluate what needs to be done
and schedule some more meeting nights at our shop.
Let me know if this works for you, and what nights this week you would want to
come in (also as I said, today and tomorrow are free too). Give me a call.
Thanks,
Adam
