Manufacturing and Prototyping Progress
Today, Team 254 finished CNCing the wheel hubs for each team and cut the stock needed for the cams. In the meantime, the CAD team continued tweaking the baseplate design and other groups continued working on prototype methods of handling the soccer balls.
One of the more successful protoypes the team developed was an intake roller that gave the ball backspin, keeping it close to the robot while the robot moved. The prototype is still in development, and various rollers and traction materials are being tested.
