Tater Tanker Upgrades

TaterTanker Upgrades

Our team did a SWOT analysis on TaterTanker and has begun making various upgrades to various manipulators. Our overall objective is to improve our Intake>Hopper>Spindexer>Shooter throughput.

Intake (finished)

- Removed the top roller bar allowing for space in hopper and less motor stalls

We'll be doing more work on our hopper, spindexer, and shooter designs in the next week.

Programming

Our team programs with Java. We also use PathPlanner, MotionMajic and some other programming assistants.

Autos

Left & Right autos: Shoot the 8 balls, go out to the center and grab more, go back and score. (All under the trench)
Middle auto: Score the 8 balls

Upgrades before Granite City Regional (April 8th)

Our team is working on a couple different things to upgrade ourselves before Granite City.

Shuttle balls from the center, maybe as well the opposing alliances side.
Drive and shoot, our goal is to not only shuttle balls while driving, but to also drive and score fuel.
