The Hexapods Team was started in Fall of 2018 in the Robotics Lab, by Hannah Kolano. Members of the team include Paul Nadan, Anna Buchele, Dieter Brehm, David Tarazi, James Ho, and Julia Benton.
SAG grants should be applied for at the beginning of the semester. Previous proposal(s) are documented below. Unfortunately, to spend SAG grant money, an individual must pay and then be reimbursed. The reimbursement form as of Fall 2018 is linked here. Katherine McDonough has been the person to contact to get these forms and to submit reimbursements.
Reminder that Olin is a tax-free institution. Since SAG grants come from Olin, they are also tax-free. This can sometimes be difficult, especially with online orders. Adafruit lets you create an account that's tax-free, but it involves snail mail, so get on it early.
In addition to general support from Dave Barrett and the RoboLab, the team received a SAG grant from Olin for $590. The proposal can be found here. An overview of what was bought can be found on this google sheet.
Potential further endeavors:
- Putting bump sensors on all six legs for climbing and rough terrain
- Coding in the Lidar for area mapping and path planning, RPi integration
- Something something Zip Line
- An enclosure for the electronics, for aesthetics and /not shorting out anything/ purposes
- Ability to fold into a smaller space
Besides GitHub, we also have a Slack and an Asana.
The RoboLab Asana might be here: https://app.asana.com/0/177226078182878/overview
The RoboLab Slack is at olinrobo.slack.com.
