Today we continued to modify our VEX Robot to improve its efficiency. The smaller tank treads that we applied a few days back were now removed in order to be replaced with the wider tank treads. A few pieces of tank tread had to be removed in order to be a perfect match for our choice of wheels, but the application was overall a success. Tests were also done to observe and compare the differences between both versions of tank treads. A new addition was made to the Saturn's Rings booklet, visualizing what occurred during open lab time. Additional designs were also made on my (Jose's) TinkerCAD : 3D design VEX Robot - Jose Luis Vargas | Tinkercad. I managed to find an exact model of our original VEX Robot claw attachment and copy it into my TinkerCAD, so that I may edit it and make alternatives much easier. I also managed to find a simple frame of our VEX Robot model and copy it into my TinkerCAD. This model will help simplify the process of making designs and will help visualize what an alternate attachment would look like on our VEX Robot before it is attached.
Next steps :
- Continue search for automated VEX Robot code
- Continue designs on TinkerCAD
- Continue experiments with VEX Robot
- Continue discussion on competition against AM Class
