# 67400A is ramping up
currently @ a Robotics Club meeting & our team is getting ready for the new VEX season dropping tomorrow -- drafting up drivetrains, vacuuming the field, clearing off the builders' desk, etc. i get the easy job of typing a blurb for today into a terminal & people think that I am doing a Lot Of Work. yay manual labor
can't tear apart our High Stakes bot yet b/c we're gonna show it off on the 14th, but after that it's free game -- brain & motors will be stripped for the new robot
it looks like we're either settling on an H or X drive -- *super* excited to write code for that (NOT!)
also, we are gonna need a better engineering notebook for this season and a git repository to store our code in. the last engineering notebook was severely lacking in hardware+software design choices -- emphasis on software -- and the last ""repository"" was downright horrid. i'm hoping the district will just give us Github and VSCode, i have a few issues that need to be addressed by IT:
* ssh doesn't work @ STPSB -- port 22 is blocked
literally typing this from a web terminal @ cockpit.hackclub.app
websocat would work fine though, but i'd have to write a ~/.ssh/config...
* github is blocked via DNS rules
really annoying. people love to see a commit history and who doesn't want to put "Programmer of 67400A" on their resume? it teaches kids how to write pull requests maybe!
i can run goodies @ \*.hackclub.app though -- there's webmail at roundcube.hackclub.app, git at git.hackclub.app, a terminal at cockpit.hackclub.app, etc
worst case, i will just onboard everybody onto Nest/hackclub.app & run a git repository for 67400A @ git.hackclub.app -- maybe write a powershell script to install PortableGit, websocat, pwsh dotfiles, etc onto windows PCs
TODO: look at purdue's VEX engineering notebook
RIP Class of 2025

# new VEX game dropped
new VEX game dropped. ethan called me at 7:30pm. here's some interesting notes that i took from the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocmONiVun9M) -- apparently there is also a longer video but i'm not sure i'll have to ask ethan for the link to that
* NO possession limits -- VEX robots can store as many balls as they please
* +30 points for "parking" both robots
* we'll need some sort of "conveyor" thing so that we can load balls into the tracks
i think we'll have to go with an X or H drive -- strafing could be *really* useful for lining up the conveyor into the chute(s)
