Meeting 7 — Complete the Robot
Two Meetings Left
Robot Driveable by End of Meeting
The minimum bar for today is a robot that drives and picks up pollen. Everything beyond that — a dumper, tuned positioning, jam recovery — is bonus. Work in priority order: drive first, intake second, dumper if time allows.
Drive — Must Have
Robot must drive reliably with the gamepad before moving on to anything else. Test on the actual field tiles if possible.

Finish the physical intake design and get the A-button toggle working. Test it picking up real pollen on the field — adjust roller speed if needed.
→ Button Actions: Intake LessonDumper into the Hive — Bonus
If your robot has a dump mechanism, get it working today. Use the X button toggle and tune the carry/dump servo positions to reliably drop pollen into the hive.
→ Dump Servo LessonJam Recovery — Bonus
If time allows, add the reverse-intake jam-clear from the dumper lesson. In a 2:30 match, a single jam can cost you 30+ seconds.
