Day 34: Manufacturing, Programming & Bumper Assembly

Manufacturing

Today, the manufacturing department was hard at work finishing most of the parts for the bumpers and working on the shifter dogs and minibot deployment rail end caps.  We hope to have every machined part done by Monday.

Programming

The programming team has been busy over the last few weeks perfecting teleoperated drive code.  Using a mix of linear, exponential and logarithmic functions, they have refined Onslaught’s teleoperated control.

Bumpers

The bumpers are coming together.  Today, we put all the steel nut plates onto the bumpers and cut pool noodles to length.  They should be completed tomorrow.
