There was no meeting in real life, but we did some behind-the-scenes work. 🙃🙃🙃
Some of us went to the MnT lab to measure the inner and outer diameter of the power plug using a caliper while Rachel continued enquiring about the procurement because some of our parts have not reached and appeared to not be reaching in time. 🕔
The chassis of the tank is an important part in building the body of the robot but there appears to be some delay because the chassis is out of stock. 😱 😭 😱 😭 😱 😭 We placed an order on the same model but on a different listing which will only be available next week. Due to such unforeseen circumstances, we are currently considering building the chassis of the tank from scratch though this would require more raw materials and the product might not be as sturdy, so we are just keeping it in consideration.
We also played with the raspberry pi and tried testing out the connection between two routers using WIFI to simulate how we will connect the robot to the user end using two transceivers. After some attempts, we managed to get remote access of the raspberry pi from the user end using two routers. 🙏🙏🙏
We also had to buy the power plug adaptor for the ethernet switch. 😄😄😄
