(The title will make a lot more sense if you hum the tune of Proud Mary while reading it…)
But, that was mostly what we were doing today! Thanks to our awesome welders, our chassis is welded and was then sent off to the powder coaters. But, without that we can’t work on drivetrain, chains, or anything else dependant on the chassis. So, we worked on prototyping the rollers (another time where Proud Mary lyrics would be aplicable) (That’s the song that goes “Rollin’, Rollin’ Rollin’ on the river”) and the kicker mechanism
With much pushing, yanking, shoving, stretching, and humming of jazz tunes (Christina….) the roller prototype was built and is fairly effective. We want to try moving and respacing the rollers to see if we can make it work even better!
We also worked on building a kicker, and on trying to fit allll of our doodles and devices and ideas on one robot. When the chassis gets back we’ll see about actually attaching everything. See you then!
