Returning from the SAC regional, the team made notes to get ready for the next competition, the East Bay Regional (EBR).
The team met up for a competition debrief in the beginning, which includes discussion on the scouting app and the robot improvement. We realized that driver practice and auto-routine would be the main focus of week 4 and 5.
Another meeting on Friday, the team began fixing a few minor flaws in each subsystem. As from the competition debrief, we decided to use aluminum as the material for outtake. Along with the outtake, the team had agreed upon more molded wheels on the intake. Observing from the SAC regional, the team realized that more wheels on the intake can help us obtain a “touch it and own it” intake system.
Not only the improvement made in the intake subsystem, the team also fixed the elevator to make it more sturdy and stable when it is reaching from L1 to L4. The software and the hardware systems fixed the elevator along with the end effector to allow us scoring from L1 to L4 without any issues. Vision is also improved to fully-autom ated scoring.
Apart from our subsystems, we fixed minor electrical problems we had before during the SAC Regional, for example, the CANcoder and the Kraken motors that were not working.
With our new subsystems all put together, we started the driver practices on the weekend. Our amazing driver had his time to get used to the new subsystem and the different controls on the PS5 controller. Along with the driver practices, the software team was consistently making changes on vision alignment.
Last but not least, we had another amazing team, 1072 Harker Robotics, on our field on Saturday to have their driver practice. We had a very good time together! 972 Iron Claw Robotics wish 1072 Harker Robotics all the best!!! If your team ever wants to come and practice at our practice field, feel free to contact 972contact@lgsuhsd.org. For further information, check the homepage under the “Announcement” section!
Stay tuned for our next competition at the East Bay Regional!
