Day 38: Machining, Wiring & Pneumatics

Machining

Today, the machining team worked on the elevator second stage top and bottom caps.  The bottom caps are complete and the top caps are in progress.

Furthermore, on the lathe, we worked on various spacers and shafts.

Wiring, Pneumatics & Programming

Today, we finished (except for sensors) wiring the bases on both robots.  Our second cRio arrived and we flashed it, allowing us to run both robots simultaneously.  We plumbed the pneumatics on the base of both robots and ran a pneumatics test on the practice robot.  After fixing several leaks, the system is good to go.

Control Boards

Today, we got the control board back from the CNC routing sponsor.  The next step is assembly.
