    Here’s what I think needs to be completed. The arm mechanism needs to be added to the chassis without suspension, the hanger’s newest blocks need to be printed and tested, the Chairman’s essay needs to be edited and published, and the Chairman’s summary also needs to be edited and published. The robot parts need to be completed by Saturday, so that we have two weeks to test. As a reminder ship date is Feb 23! Three weeks from today. Hope to see everyone tomorrow.

    It seems like this site is broken, I can’t start any threads, nor can I comment without moderation. The old forum is better. (http://nhgs.tec.va.us./nhrecblog/team122/index.php)

    Yeah I’m here as well. And if Mrs. T is here, I need to talk to you about what we need to make the pneumatics legal after the rule change they made.

    As far as programming is concerned, Shaun took the Classmate PC home to work on autonomous and the rest of the group has worked on redoing the driver station control.

    Concerning vision, the last I knew was that the team was putting the camera on a robot so that they could test the auto-aligning with the target.

    Hello everyone just wanted to say hi try to figure this out please ignore this message

    It looks like you have covered most of the items that need to be completed. We also need the storyboard done for animation and the CAD students to place what is done so far in CAD. At least two computers have the software loaded.

    Ryan,
    What is the new rule?

  13. Shawn Says:

    Autonomous is still under construction, I’ve added in driver station options to switch between 2/4 motors, victors/jaguars, etc. Should have autonomous completed by the end of the week at latest.

    They changed the safety rules about solenoids, so we need an adjustable relief valve for our solenoid valve because it i’res rated below 125 PSI. I’ve been looking at this one and it should be legal and do the job. Its number E291 http://www.pneuaire.com/prreva.html

    As far as the kicker goes, we’re waiting on the frame to be completed so we can stuff everything in there. I can’t say for sure if we’re going to get a full field kick if it’s restricted to going under the tunnel.

    Yeah, the exact rule is now:

    Solenoid valves. All such valves must have a maximum ⅛” NPT port diameter, and a maximum Cv of 0.32 (if non-KOP valves are used, the team will be required to provide part documentation validating that the valves meet these constraints). Solenoid valves that are rated for a maximum pressure that is less than 125psi rating mandated above are permitted, however if employed, an additional pressure relief valve must be added to the low pressure side of the main regulator. The additional relief valve must be set to a lower pressure than the maximum pressure rating for the solenoid valve. (Section 8 )

  16. Ms T Says:

    Hello all! How many of these valves do we need Ryan?

    Students, just add a comment at the bottom of the page and it will appear.

    I ordered two of them just now.

    So canceled again eh? When are we going to make up for all this lost time? Are we going to stay later? Also we need more jaguars. I think were up to a necessary 3. I’m researching sites to get them from.

  20. Shawn Says:

    I found the site. (http://www.luminarymicro.com/jaguar) They do offer FRC team discounts. But there is the choice of getting the new (updated) jaguars (Which I believe we would need 4 of to keep everything the same.) or the old jaguars, in which we would only need 3. Also, it could just be me but I can’t enter a number for the old jaguars on the discount screen.

    I believe we already ordered a Jaguar and it should be at the school by tomorrow, I hope. I ordered one last week. Have you checked the rules to see if we are limited to how many we can have?

  22. homsar66 Says:

    So if the school is open to employees today, why can’t we just come in? I’ve been driving around since sunday, its really no problem.

  23. Shawn Says:

    Yes I agree. We should have robotics today, volunteer attendance only or something. (It is normally isn’t it?)
