- Status Updates
- Robot Maintenance - Jimmy
- All robots are wired for encoders
- Whatever the homing sensor beacon wiring harness plugs into on the robot was flipped. (On all robots)
- New BOMs installed on robots that previously didn't have one
- Encoders
- Properly aligning the magnets for the encoders is nearly impossible
- Look into spacers
- Remaining encoder boards need to be soldered (~10)
- Error checking code added
- Mounting issues to be fixed in code
- See trac page for robot status - Please Keep Up-To-Date
- Properly aligning the magnets for the encoders is nearly impossible
- BOM/Token Ring Test - David
- Prints table of bom values for all robots in token ring
- Works for all robots with wireless id less than 15 - look to increase this number
- Token ring takes several seconds to establish, but Brian says its fine
- see ticket for details
- Charge bay homing beacons - Evan
- Austin made them work
- Initialize with bayboard_init(ALL_ON); like everything else
- Still need to test with a robot to determine if the frequencies are matched to the correct side
- Autonomous Recharging
- Mount charge boards with encoders
- BOM 1.5 code
- Needs testing, merge next week
- Robot Maintenance - Jimmy
- SURG Ideas - Austin will take the lead
- Reliability, Robustness, Fault Tolerance (all 15 robots)
- Environment * Diagnostic tool set - jtag * Simulation - from the ground up (not Player Stage)
- Best Practices
- Robot Shell - art SURG
- Reliability, Robustness, Fault Tolerance (all 15 robots)
