Today was a productive day. We had a snow day from school, so only a few of us were able to make it out. I worked to refine the intake. I really believe in order to have a effective and efficient intake, it will need to be as flat or as close as possible to intake the frisbees well. In Art's drawing it showed the intake on an angle, but after testing that seems less efficient. I believe we will be able to make a frisbee intake 6-7 inched deep, so it sucks the frisbee in just enough to hold it. Then have it just pivot up and the frisbees slide into the helix from the back of the intake. We have to do a couple more prototypes, but I believe this is the best one we'll get. Aside from working on the intake, I sat down with some students and taught them to wire a robot. We took the gutted practice robot from last year and rewired the drive motors. We got a lot done and only have the radio left to wire in! Here's the pictures and videos from today.
