FRC 5190: Community Robotics Team
Many backgrounds, one purpose! Previously known as the Green Hope Falcons Robotics Team.
Like Day 33, today was an intense day too. Team worked hard today to finish Lofty, our production robot. Harness to install motors, crane arm are all in place. Build ran into couple of unplanned problems. But they were able to resolve all of them and push forward. As of 4pm today, Lofty was ready for cherry picker and chain install for the motors. Tomorrow they plan to put all electronics back on Lofty. Here are some of the pics which show the progress.

Today, Ghost was outfitted with the old crane prototype and had limit switches, gyroscopes, and encoders tested and outfitted on it. The programmers got a lot of progress done with using these new electronics. Also, the programmers worked on some more TeleOp code. For the final production, a lot of attachments were made for Lofty’s finished design out of aluminum. In addition, the cherry picker device was worked on. The gearboxes and systems for Lofty’s crane mechanism were worked on but problems were run into as one of the gearboxes kept having issues. Progress looks to be en route to completing on time for build season’s end.
