On the first day of Week 7 the robotics team went to the Citrus Circuits scrimmage. During the scrimmage our team got to test the v1 robot and all its mechanisms. Throughout the next week they worked on several things preparing for the upcoming pinnacles regional the following week.

Programming: They worked on branch align and auto offsets from reef, started the CANrange integration into the coral manipulator, tested autos following pose not setting, tested coral manipulator roller not spinning sometimes in auto, and troubleshooted spark flex capped at ~8% (1 volt) output power. They finished working on reef branch align, tested autos again including score 1 auto, tested cycles and adjusted constants, developed/tested algae removal, implemented the coral reef auto algin’s first iteration, connected photon vision + limelight to the robot as well as the integration of it, debugging autonomous command roller issue and, tuned the branch align.

Mechanical: Mechanical started working on elevator mounting to v2, the coral claw assembly, started motor mounting for elevator motor, and started making climber 1/4 in mounting plates. They finished climber mounting extrusions, assembled elevator, mounted the climbers, made more coral plates, and made gearboxes all for the v2 robot.

Electrical: Electrical started working on elevator wiring for v1, serial port wiring for orange pi, managing leads on batteries, and figuring out spark flex power limit issue. They finished working on moving and rewiring pigeon to new area, adding Limelight and Orange pi + camera to v1 bot,  RSL light mounting, mounting the new radio, mounting/wiring the new circuit breaker to the robot, started some XT connectors for spark maxes and, wiring elevator motors

CAD: Cad remade and designed plates, worked on implementing CANrange to the coral intake and the thrifty elevator, remounting/repositioned the climbers, and designed a backing for the algae intake as well as a mounting plate for the orange pi.
