With the regional competition approaching in April, Team Tachyon is only a few days away from having a competition-ready robot. Over the past few weeks, Kieran has been designing and manufacturing a gripper that is ready for mounting on our frame, and Michael and Sam have been finishing and troubleshooting the control and waterproofing systems. Our control system is now fully functional and installed onto our frame, and all that we need to get this robot moving is to install our propellers.
Below are some videos we took of our control system in action. The first shows our X axis and Z axis motors functioning simultaneously (and Sam consequently complaining about the sound). The second, I think, is more exciting; it shows each motor on the X axis being controlled individually--a new feature this year in our control system. Thanks for following us this year, and please stay in tune for more videos, pictures, and posts when we get our bot in the water in the next few weeks.
