Jan. 16, 2015
AGENDA:
1. Report on assignments
2. Look at mechanical design, make a plan
3. Talk about 12v regulator
4. Talk about simulator, maybe strategies
5. Figure out how to interface with motors
6.
We talked about strategies for the simulation and the division of skills, plays, and strategies
Jan. 17, 2015
AGENDA:
1. Discuss Clifford assignments
2. Talk about simulator strategies, get a working offence and defense
Attendance: Aaron, Sam, Derek
Discuss Clifford Assignment:
● Filled out Critical Design Document
Regrets: Craig
● He slept in and was very sorry that he missed the morning. He came around 1:25 and worked a little with Derek in the Digilab. He plans to work on it today, tomorrow, and Monday.
Jan. 19, 2015
Attendance: Aaron, Craig, Derek, Sam
● Worked on simulation
● Thought of design elements for robot
○ automatic golf putter (kicker)
○ flick ball onto robot’s head (balancing on head, then carry to goal)
Jan. 22, 2015
Attendance: Aaron, Craig, Derek, Sam
● Functional Design Spec
What we need:
● 12 V Regulator - Radioshack (ML 7812A)
Feb. 6, 2015
Attendance: Aaron, Sam, Craig
Topics:
● Skill test completed
● What to do next
Assignments:
● Sam
○ Move robot to specified point
● Craig
○ Communicate via ROS (camera coordinate to robot motor)
● Derek
○ Interface with IP camera thingy
○ Extract position and orientation of robot on field
● Aaron
●
What needs to happen by the first competition
● AI/Architecture:
○ ROS communication (camera to robot)
○ simple defensive and rush the goal strategy
● Vision (camera recognition):
○ calculation for position and orientation
○ tracking ball and robot (robot flag color)
● Mechanical:
○ robot runs on battery (weight distribution)
○ 3 layers, mounted and tied
○ easy access to power
● Control:
○ move to point (with defined velocity)
○ Fix friction issues via PID
○ State space model?
