Put together the solenoids and crimp wires.

Day 35, Saturday, February 8

Electrical

• Got dashboard program
• Nothing got deleted today
• Wrote an autonomous program
• not tested yet
• Tried to test vision but couldn't ping camera
• so no image came in
• Fixed up teleop
• Wrote finish VI
• Fixed Begin VI
• Saved lots of backup
• Put together all pneumatics
• tested for leaks
• fixed most of them
• Drilled holes for intake and hardstop

Mechanical

Jackie

Help drill holes on intake and shooter. Vacuum while holes were being drilled. Put new tetlon tape on pneumatic fittings.

Day 36, Sunday, February 9

Electrical

LED's we got them to work and we will put them on the intake as soon as it is ready

• Started testing teleop
• Programmed buttons and controllers for teleop
• Finished wiring everything
• Changing first driver to two joysticks

Goals: Change intake motor controls to attack 3 joysticks transmission control

People: Camelia, Darius, Sara, Kevin, Masanari, Fabrice

Mechanical

Jackie, Dylan K, ZJ, Kevin A, Blanke

Fixed the cart. Found that the hard stops on the shooter are wrong. Helped trouble shoot the program and drove the robot.

Day 33, Thursday, February 6

Electrical
Programming: Fixed the vision code that broke and Fabrice made "Begin & Teleop" and Yuuma made "finish" VI.
Before, it broke after we copied it from the flash drive so we had to use the target detection VI from the C Drive location and not E drive (flash drive) almost ready for testing now hopefully 2/7.

• Out on polycarb
• Installed compressor
• Started making cRIO power
• Powered digital side car
• Filmed some scenes for video
• Decided a place for signal light on bar at top

Goals: 

• Finish wiring components
• Attach Radio
• Put together pneumatics

People: Masa, Darius, Yuuma, Sara, Camelia, Fabrice

Mechanical

Jackie, ZJ, Kevin, Blake, Danielle

Worked on electrical. Installed the compressor, CAD ed and designed a new Robot Cart. Installed Cable for hard stops.

Day 32, Thursday, February 5

Electrical
Programming:

• All files got deleted. 
• We don't know why or how
• The files are unretrievable
• It happened after the dashboard project was placed in the robot project folder
• We tried around 5 times
• it deleted them again
• We need to start over
• Added most of the PWM cabled
• Attached all chassis motors, power spike, reservoirs, polycarb mounts
• Still need to power all components

Goals:

• Power components
• Build pneumatic system
• Attache polycarb

People: Darius, Kevin W, Fabrice, Masanari, Camelia, Sara

Day 31, Tuesday, February 4

Electrical
What we did

• Made test board for hot detection again because previous one was taken apart
• Configured test board (different cRIO)
• Attached cRIO board onto robot
• Wired beaker and battery connector
• Connected chassis motors

Goals:

• Continue with hot detection
• Wire intake motors
• Connect pwm cables
• Maybe start putting reservoirs on

Attendance: Yuuma, Darius, Masanari, Camelia, Sara

Mechanical

Dremmeled holes so it would line up with the motor for intake, 

Attached motors and chained sprockets for intake,

Attached intake to robot,

Tested intake with bumpers on
