Robotics - A Riveting Tale

Once again, very few people actually came to the robotics meeting. We still don't have a robot or materials necessary to make one do interesting things, so we just continued building the field. At a meeting which I could not attend last week, they found a drill and removed the incorrect rivets from the center field assembly pipes.

We installed the correct pipes today and started attaching the other Plexiglas side of the center assembly. The first rivet we put in, it didn't actually go through into the side of the structure - only into the Plexiglas - so we had to drill it out of the Plexiglas while being careful to not shatter it. Once we got longer rivets, the attachment went well.

I did a little bit more work on the RobotC program for the other team (which at least has a robot), but it still exhibits the strange problem of not getting the joystick movements.
