Today we tested the Drivetrain on Robot #1 for friction, torque and speed. As the video shows below, human assistants played a key role. Even a football game did not deter the team from working on the robots!
Many tweaks are made along the way, as we seek to optimize the design for peak performance before competition. A strange noise was detected emanating from the drive system and rectified in this early tryout.
Motor shafts for robot #2 were again, cut to length to fit into the 'tri-power' assembly. The Lift Mechanism assemblies were also completed.
The bumpers from last year's robots were disassembled as well as the staples removed from the covers.
