Lots of research

What we did today:

Today, Lindsey researched better ideas for the ball shooter and took off some wheels to move them lower.
This will allow us to drive up on the platform. Charity researched the autonomous code and how to do it.
With that, we will be able to get more points in competition.

Next steps...

• We will redo our base
• we will take off the wheels and move them lower so we can drive onto the platform and get more points
• We will fix our ball shooter
• we will keep the elevator, but it will drop the ball onto a ramp and feed into two wheels to shoot out
• We will write the autonomous code
• we will figure out how to do the controller for the autonomous part and get the autonomous code template

Other resources:

Here is a video that we were thinking of basing our shooter off of. It is better than our current design because the ball rolls into the shooter instead of being lifted up to it. We will lift up the ball at first, then it will roll down the ramp to the shooter.

Here are code templates that include the autonomous one so we can use that in competition.
