Amansour:

== The Goal ==

The goal when creating the chipper was to simplify the design. We incorporated a [http://wiki.robojackets.org/w/RC15-FlatSolenoid Flat Solenoid] as to fit the geometry of our robot. Essentially the solenoid armature slides barely touching the bottom plate hitting a pivot arm which the golf ball is resting on. This applies a force at a 55 degree angle upwards.

Amansour:

This page houses the 2015 [http://wiki.robojackets.org/w/RoboCup RoboCup] Mechanical efforts. Mechanical tasks for the 2015 competition year can be most easily summarized as a complete redesign of the SSL fleet. 

Mechanical team meets Tuesday, 6-9pm Sunday, 1-5pm. More hours will be announced as deadlines approach. [[File:Enlightenment.gif|frameless|right]]
 
== Background ==

=== Current Robots ===

The team has taken part in RoboCup every year since 2008*. Two different fleets of robots are used: a fleet designed in 2008, and a fleet designed in 2011. The 2008 fleet sports a solenoid powered kicker mechanism and a fixed dribbler. The 2011 fleet sports solenoid powered kicker AND chipper mechanisms, along with a fixed dribbler and encoders on the motors.

=== Previous Issues ===

Due to an error in the tolerances of shaft components for the 2011 fleet, the drivetrain of these robots have suffered tremendously, resulting in decayed performance of the motors. This renders mostly all 2011 robots functionally incapable. Thus, the most reliable robots have been those designed in 2008. However, the 2008 robots lack encoders, and without these sensors, this makes control of the robots significantly more challenging for the software team.

=== Improvements ===

Due to these challenges, it has been determined that a complete rebuild of the robots is required to continue to be competitive in the RoboCup SSL. Particular emphasis is being placed on designing passive mechanisms that aid the software team in having finer control over the robots and the ball.

== Requirements ==

=== Primary Goals ===

The team for the 2015 competition year has met several times to discuss the primary goals for a new fleet of robots. These requirements are outlined below, in order of highest priority to lowest priority.

#Encoders on the motors
#Robust drivetrain mounts
#Damped dribbler
#Lower profile solenoids
#Superior traction/grip for the wheels
#Robust shell design

=== Secondary Goals ===

The team has also considered other desired characteristics of the robots that are not necessarily competition-oriented goals. The list is below (in no particular order).

#Improved tolerances for the omniwheel (previous designs have significant play in this subsystem)
#Improved aesthetics for the robot shell
#Ease of attachment/removal of electrical boards
#Low center of gravity

== Specifications ==

*Ball speed after being kicked - 8 m/s
*Dribbler bar speed - 8000 rpm
*Compress time (time for dribbler to absorb ball's energy and compress) - .2 seconds
*No more than 20% of the ball's area (seen from top view) may be occupied by the robot - a critical Robocup SSL Rule

*Field Size:
**For the 2014 year, two options were available for the field size:
***Single-size field: 6050mm x 4050mm
***Double-size field: 8090mm x 6050mm
**For the 2015 competition year, the field size is locked in as the "Double-size field": 8090mm x 6050mm
*Max ball speed - 8 m/s
*Ball diameter - 43 mm
*Ball mass - 46 grams
*Ball material - DuPont Surlyn Ionomer [http://www2.dupont.com/Surlyn/en_US/ Dupont's Surlyn Page]
*Coefficient of static friction of golf ball on felt carpet - .66
***last two points from Cornell 2003 Mechanical Documentation

RoboCup Mechanical 2015

2014-12-22T03:00:55Z

Amansour:

This page houses the 2015 [http://wiki.robojackets.org/mediawiki/RoboCup RoboCup] Mechanical efforts. Mechanical tasks for the 2015 competition year can be most easily summarized as a complete redesign of the SSL fleet. 

Mechanical team meets Tuesday, 6-9pm Sunday, 1-5pm. More hours will be announced as deadlines approach.

[http://wiki.robojackets.org/mediawiki/images/5/51/RC2008DevRender.jpg http://wiki.robojackets.org/mediawiki/images/5/51/RC2008DevRender.jpg]

== Background ==

=== Current Robots ===

The team has taken part in RoboCup every year since 2008*. Two different fleets of robots are used: a fleet designed in 2008, and a fleet designed in 2011. The 2008 fleet sports a solenoid powered kicker mechanism and a fixed dribbler. The 2011 fleet sports solenoid powered kicker AND chipper mechanisms, along with a fixed dribbler and encoders on the motors.

=== Previous Issues ===

Due to an error in the tolerances of shaft components for the 2011 fleet, the drivetrain of these robots have suffered tremendously, resulting in decayed performance of the motors. This renders mostly all 2011 robots functionally incapable. Thus, the most reliable robots have been those designed in 2008. However, the 2008 robots lack encoders, and without these sensors, this makes control of the robots significantly more challenging for the software team.

=== Improvements ===

Due to these challenges, it has been determined that a complete rebuild of the robots is required to continue to be competitive in the RoboCup SSL. Particular emphasis is being placed on designing passive mechanisms that aid the software team in having finer control over the robots and the ball.

== Requirements ==

=== Primary Goals ===

The team for the 2015 competition year has met several times to discuss the primary goals for a new fleet of robots. These requirements are outlined below, in order of highest priority to lowest priority.

#Encoders on the motors
#Robust drivetrain mounts
#Damped dribbler
#Lower profile solenoids
#Superior traction/grip for the wheels
#Robust shell design

=== Secondary Goals ===

The team has also considered other desired characteristics of the robots that are not necessarily competition-oriented goals. The list is below (in no particular order).

#Improved tolerances for the omniwheel (previous designs have significant play in this subsystem)
#Improved aesthetics for the robot shell
#Ease of attachment/removal of electrical boards
#Low center of gravity

== Specifications ==

*Ball speed after being kicked - 8 m/s
*Dribbler bar speed - 8000 rpm
*Compress time (time for dribbler to absorb ball's energy and compress) - .2 seconds
*No more than 20% of the ball's area (seen from top view) may be occupied by the robot - a critical Robocup SSL Rule

RoboCup Mechanical 2013

2013-11-28T09:24:31Z

Amansour: /* Experimental Designs for Upcoming Fleet */

This page details the efforts of the RoboJacket's designs for the mechanical base of the 2013/2014 fleet. If you are another team interested in replicating our ssl design you are free to do so. All we ask is that you credit the RoboJackets as the inspiration.

== Introduction ==

The 2013 mechanical sub system closely resembles the 2009 fleet. Thus many of the same materials and components are used throughout the process. The main mechanical changes for the 2013 robot is an increase in the dribbler size. The creation of an actuated dribbler to allow ball dampening, and increase in the kicker and chipper boot sizes.
