Couch Potato - Waiting on the Couch and Frame

Couch Potato - Waiting on the Couch and Frame

Everything is Ready Except the Big Pieces

With coding more or less complete, we are really just waiting on our frame and couch for the final tests.
Our frame is due to be delivered sometime next week, courtesy of the welding class. Our couch is still
MIA, and we await its arrival, whenever that may be. As for the wheels, since we do not really have
proper cleaning supplies, they won't be getting any cleaner than they are now, which is not saying
much. If that greasy substance becomes a problem, we will have to find another way to clean them.


Team members: Darryl, Hazel, Chris, Francisco, Zachary

What Steps Did We Solve:

  1. Test Motors - Done - We have tested our motors, and they function correctly.
  2. Test Motor Controller - Done - We have tested our motor controller, and it functions correctly.
  3. Plan Frame - Done - We have designed a versatile frame for our couch, and visited the Welding class.
  4. Moving Care with Joystick - Done - We have figured out how to move the car with our joystick code.
  5. Finishing Touches on Frame Planning - Done - Our frame is ready, and is being built.
  6. Cleaning the Wheels - Done - The wheels are as clean as we can get them with what we had.

Next Steps:

 List all the current steps in order of priority. Mark "Pending", "In Progress", "Road Block", "Done"
  1. Build Frame - In Progress - Our frame is currently being built by the welding crew.
  2. Testing Motor Control with Joystick and Coding - Pending -  We need to use our coding and a joystick to check how the joystick controls the motor, and how will it steer.
