Devlog 6: Parking Mech Pt2, Rubber bands, and more!

Hey guys, this is a decently lengthy devlog, so lets get into it!

Parking Mech

My parking mech is done!
My main problem, as you saw in the last devlog is that I only had around 20 degrees of room to deploy my bellypan cause I was hitting a bar, what was my solution?
Getting rid of the bar.
In all seriousness, I put out a small hole in the bar that way, the arm that connects my motor and bellypan can move through.

Now, we can lay all the way flat, but there is still a large footprint, as anything that touches the ground adds to my footprint. So I added a small bar that should hopefully work to reduce my footprint (anything that touches the ground)

Rubber bands

Following advice from my last ship, I realized it was important for people to actually know where rubber bands were. Or atleast some what to understand. For now, I have added rubber bands, but I might end up making them a bit less opaque as its hard to see inside right now.

Random other changes

Removed that random spur gear on the back of Shooter, thats useless
Added a light bar to the back of bot and an LED to the shooter.

Future plans

  1. Odometry pods, this would be amazing
  2. Adjustable hood shooter, right now I can only adjust RPM, which takes time and is expensive on power, which I know all to well can kill matches. An adjustable hood would save so much power.

Quite a long post, but hopefully ship #2 soon!
Thanks!
