This week our team continued machining parts and began assembling them. Now the bot is nearly complete. It has a working door, and the frame of the bot is complete. The treads that we ordered came, and we assembled them and attached them to the bot. Also we cut a piece of wood to be attached to the back of the bot that will hold the motors that move the treads. We chose wood because it is lightweight and easy to cut and drill into.
On Monday we will attach netting to the side of the bot which will prevent balls from rolling out. Also we will create an arm out of delrin, which will be used to capture balls.
After assembly we noticed that the door did not reach low enough to block balls. This occurred because the treads raised the machine up more than we expected. To fix this problem we will attach another piece of delrin to the bottom of the door. Shown below are pictures of what we have assembled.
