This has been the most eventful week of the semester. We started the week with machining angle supports and cutting chassis plate for the car. As we moved on to assembling the car, we realized it couldn't turn effectively. So we decided to use one wheel in the front to increase the car's turning ability. After turning the car shafts, soldering the motor wires, and neatly arranging the wires in order, we finally finished making our car! The new car has double-tired wheels attached to the motor. This provides more stability when our car being pushed by other opponents. We believe this car will work effectively against other team's offense.
As far as our offense mechanism, we completed all the machining parts for the platform and driving winch including angle supports and shafts. We geared up our winch motor because we want to speed up our offense process and start playing solid defense before the other team scores. When we put both of the angle stock on the platform, we found that the two shaft holes are perfectly aligned. So we had to turn the shafts on lathe machine so it can rotate smoothing while being driven by the motor.
The competition is only days away. We are in the final stage of testing and minor remodeling. After months of hardwork, we are ready to see how well our machine works against the other teams.
