Hello People of Robotics!
Yes, its us. Keerthana, and Devaki.
And we must say, today was quite the experience. We have decided that people who join electrical join it for a reason ( the impatience and inability to deal with various, miscellaneous little screws and parts that are always lying around. For instance, Devaki had to strip and crimp wires again ( she is unable to do her chemistry homework right now, her fingers hurt too much to punch numbers into the calcualator. )
We have taken apart the chassis and decided to rebuild it for some reason; ( the reason was not made public, but thats alright ) Also, the conveyor was ''made prettier'' and keerthana is unable to do her math homework because she's also nursing her fingers from ( in her words ) "stapling the conveyor thing on the v-belt was painful"
Aah, our wonderful technical language. "thing", "painful"
With a few other insanity encounters, and also discovery that people saved the pretzel bag that Devaki bought a few weeks ago for personal gain. This is the reason she asked her dad to buy two more bags. So people can stop being less stingy.
Electrical worked on PID, funnily enough, that is a calculus function, that stands for "proportional integral derivative". None of the people working on that had a clue about what that meant, until yesterday, Mr. Laitnen helped us think the code out, and mentor Andrew helped us understand as well. However, as far as the authors were updated, both Sanath and his cronies, Nupur, Helena and (partly Devaki) , don't know how to send the one input from the PID vi into the both the left speed and the right speed for the motors.vi.
We'll figure something out.
Our goal right now, is to get the new robot moving. Hopefully, Chris's code will work the first time, and we will have no troubles. Then again, that is asking for a bit much.
So once again,
Goodbye everyone!
Keerthana and Devaki
Once again, please come to build!
