MEETING CHAT TEXT
00:22:34 James Newton: I’d love to watch all of those competitions after the fact. e.g. in a youtube video.
00:26:11 Chas Ihler: https://www.meetup.com/build-it-with-arduino
00:30:53 John Jennings: https://www.nwmhe.com/index.php
00:31:05 James Newton: it’s really difficult to find the SRS youtube channel, because there is one with that name with zero content. The REAL channel is “SRS Clips-N-More” so we should probably use that name when referencing it.

00:35:40 Terry J: Yes, I will stop in. I’m in a noisy spot.
00:42:09 Chas Ihler: Reacted to “Yes, I will stop in….” with 👍
00:55:08 Keenan: I feel like robots will remember all this abuse while they try to research mobility and agility.
00:57:16 James Newton: Updated link to the ESP32 version of the SDMG Bot: Note there are versions for the ESP 8266 and for development using the Arduino IDE (difficult) or Platform IO (maybe).

01:01:34 James Newton: But this is the future:

( if I could only find the time to work on it… please help? )
01:02:13 Colin L.: Drop an ice pack inside the container holding the printing?
01:02:37 Colin L.: Reacted to “Drop an ice pack ins…” with 😂
01:06:09 Colin L.: Qwik and Hershey’s Chocolate milk.
01:08:55 Sam Rise: Oh great! We were just practicing and they should be good to go.
01:08:59 Colin L.: We had a presentation from Dr. Gaertner from UW at our SRS in-person meeting in 2012, and he had a student that wanted to print in bone.
01:09:14 Sam Rise: Oops!! Sorry all, that was supposed to go to just Chris

01:12:13 James Newton: Welcome!
01:13:40 Terry James: I love your team logo!
01:13:54 Luis: Thank you!
01:15:45 Kai: Mic isn’t working
01:21:49 James Newton: What does “straff to the right” mean? (Moving sideways as mecanum wheels permit.)
01:24:21 Terry James: What is the role of the human player in the competition?
01:25:08 Terry James: Not referring to the 2 pilots/drivers.
01:26:37 Doug Bell: Your robot uses Mecanum wheels. Are all the robots in this competition using the same kind of wheels, or did you choose these?
01:26:43 Terry James: Aah, I see.
01:26:43 Chas Ihler: I don’t know much about the ruleset; did you have design constraints like height/width or weight… and did they play a part in your design ?
01:27:55 Doug Bell: Please explain the gears driving the arm and how the gripper is driven.
01:30:36 James Newton: MORE POWER!
01:30:43 Chas Ihler: Reacted to “MORE POWER!” with ❤️
01:30:53 Jacqueline: Reacted to MORE POWER! with “❤️”
01:31:23 Terry James: 8 motors on the entire robot or 8 dedicated to the arm?
01:31:44 Luis: Reacted to “MORE POWER!” with ❤️
01:32:00 Doug Bell: What does the smaller gear do? My guess is there’s a really small gear we can’t see that drives it from the shaft with the largest gear.
01:32:02 Terry James: Very good.
01:32:17 Doug Bell: Smaller gear fixed to the arm.
01:32:54 Doug Bell: I think there’s a really small gear we can’t see.
01:36:09 Terry James: Yes, your team did a great job. This is not a simple robot.
01:36:24 Keenan: This is awesome, good job!
01:37:41 Doug Bell: Who puts a clip on each yellow box? Does that happen during the competition?
01:38:23 Koda (They/Them): Replying to “Who puts a clip on…” the human player. during competition.
01:39:26 Terry James: How many qualification rounds did you have to do?
01:42:08 James Newton: Great robot and team, love the presentation! I have to boogie to make it to the Museum and get lunch in time. Best wishes and laters!
01:42:32 Jacqueline: Reacted to Great robot and team… with “❤️”
01:42:44 Luis: Replying to “Great robot and team…”thank you for watching!
01:55:37 Craig Austin: Did you keep track of the cost to build the robot?
02:00:15 John Jennings: Are there restrictions on what you can or can’t use on the robot?
02:00:59 Chas Ihler: As a past student of the FW School District .. Is your school a private school, magnet school, or part of the district?
02:10:44 Craig Austin: Awesome job y’all. Thank You for sharing!
02:11:08 Keenan: Great job again, thank you for sharing with us!
