Summary:
I'll be in the machine shop tomorrow (11/25) from 1:30pm~ to 8pm, and on Tuesday from 4:45pm~ to 8:00pm. We will be machining parts for both the chassis and arm. If you're machine shop certified, I highly encourage you to come if you can, we have LOTS of parts to make. If you're not certified, I may or may not have something for you to do. But if you're just absolutely flowing with robotic pleasure juices and need a quick fix, I'll find something for you to do, or you could take pictures for our upcoming website release super bonanza, cause we need those.
hi
Ok, now that we have the pleasantries out of the way, let's talk about stuff.
The first epic build session will be tomorrow (11/19) from 4pm~ to whenever the machine shop closes or whenever we feel like we hit a good stopping point. The arm isn't terribly hard to make, so it should be overwhelming. We can also work on the hand if we have time. Anyone can come and help, especially if you're machine shop certified.
I have pushed back the 2nd build session from Thursday to Friday starting at 1:30pm. We are getting our actuators delivered sometime on Thursday and would like time to measure, examine, and probe them before we start sticking them places. It would be unwise to machine a bunch of stuff based on their specs online only to find out things don't fit. The normal meeting on Friday will still happen.
Tomorrow's general meeting is an imperative one. We will be discussing the logistics of our Utah URC desert pilgrimage (i.e: How to go from Seattle to Utah, how to go from Utah to Seattle, and how we do that with a robot (HINT: It involves a waffle maker and an ambulance)). In addition, we will also be discussing other things of interests.
