&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This page houses the information for IGVC Mechanical build for the 2015 competition year. Below are details pertaining to the team's design for the 2015 year, and the motivation behind all engineering decisions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Background ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Current Robot ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;font size=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The team has taken part in IGVC for many years. Generally the mechanical base is a rugged design intended to serve as a platform for offroad autonomous navigation, In recent years, the vehicles generally exhibit 4 wheel drive with significant emphasis on suspension and power transmission.&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Previous Issues ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;font size=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The primary&amp;amp;nbsp;robot&amp;amp;nbsp;used in the 2013 and 2014 competition was a 4 wheel drive vehicle that utilized chains and sprockets to transmit power. Due to the suspension setup and the weight of the robot, there was significant misalignment with the interior and exterior sprockets, causing the chain to derail. Efforts in 2014 to improve this design proved to be insufficient.&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;font size=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Additionally, these robots utilized skid-steer/differential drive, which works very well in the terrain encountered in competition, but presents odometry problems that needlessly complicate the efforts of the software development team. It is also not uncommon for inclement weather to occur during the competition, which further complicates the odometry issues.&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Improvements ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;font size=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The primary goals of the 2015 build season are to rebuild the drivetrain such that it is robust,&amp;amp;nbsp;while making drivetrain changes to also improve the odometry of the system.&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;line-height: 20.7999992370605px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Requirements&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Primary Goals ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: small; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The team for the 2015 competition year has met several times to discuss the primary goals for the system rebuild. These requirements are outlined below, in order of highest priority to lowest priority.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol style=&amp;quot;line-height: 20.7999992370605px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Eliminate chain and sprocket design and replace with a more reliable design given our suspension setup.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Maintain the use of our wheel decoupling mechanism&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Eliminate skid-steer/differential drive&amp;amp;nbsp;design&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Improve weatherproofing&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Add a newer, more low-profile LIDAR.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Hot-swap batteries/recharging circuit&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Secondary Goals ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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).&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol style=&amp;quot;line-height: 20.7999992370605px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Make a more compact, lightweight gearbox&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Improve vehicle aesthetics&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

:We model our robot in Autodesk Inventor, and perform FEA with the inbuilt stress analysis tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Structure ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our robot frame consists of primarily 1&amp;quot; steel tubing that has been custom designed and welded in-house. Steel tubing is chosen largely for its rigidity, with design emphasis on ruggedness and high payload capabilities, similar to that seen in military environments. The frame provides partitions for electronics, motors and sensors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Suspension ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Much emphasis has been placed into the design of the robot's suspension. The primary objectives of off-road capability and vibration damping (for sensors) have been achieved by allowing for independent suspension for the rear wheels. The robot sports 3&amp;amp;nbsp;ATV wheels and heavy-duty shock absorbers, allowing it to traverse rough terrains at high speeds while damping residual and transient vibrations to the sensors and giving each wheel up to 5 inches of vertical travel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Drivetrain ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The vehicle utilizes caster wheel&amp;amp;nbsp;mechanics by with each of the two rear wheels being powered by a motor through a gearbox with a reduction of 30 to 1. The two 4.5 HP Ampflow motors ensure&amp;amp;nbsp;that the robot will not get bogged down in muddy or rocky terrain. Additionally, this allows for a top speed upwards of 20 MPH to be achieved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Weatherproofing ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heavy emphasis is placed on making the robot resistant to weather. The custom-machined gearboxes are sealed shut and snap-on body panels cover the entirety of the robot to keep water from directly seeping in. Additionally, water run-off flaps are attached to all sides of the body panels. Splash guards are also employed to keep water and debris thrown from the wheels from entering the region with the motor controllers and other electronics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The button panel and electronics mounted on the mast also reside in weather resistant enclosures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Other things ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The robots sports a variety of features that make it easy to maintain and operate. The body panels are easily removed via thumbscrews from any location, providing easy access to anywhere on the robot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Emphasis is also being placed on ensuring ease of testing and transportation of the robot. Basic design parameters have been adhered to, such as making the width of the vehicle fits through a standard doorway and making vehicle such that the overall height fits with the transportation trailer.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;This page houses the information for IGVC Mechanical build for the 2015 competition year. Below are details pertaining to the team's design for the 2015 year, and the motivation behind all engineering decisions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Background ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Current Robot ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;font size=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The team has taken part in IGVC for many years. Generally the mechanical base is a rugged design intended to serve as a platform for offroad autonomous navigation, In recent years, the vehicles generally exhibit 4 wheel drive with significant emphasis on suspension and power transmission.&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Previous Issues ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;font size=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The primary&amp;amp;nbsp;robot&amp;amp;nbsp;used in the 2013 and 2014 competition was a 4 wheel drive vehicle that utilized chains and sprockets to transmit power. Due to the suspension setup and the weight of the robot, there was significant misalignment with the interior and exterior sprockets, causing the chain to derail. Efforts in 2014 to improve this design proved to be insufficient.&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;font size=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Additionally, these robots utilized skid-steer/differential drive, which works very well in the terrain encountered in competition, but presents odometry problems that needlessly complicate the efforts of the software development team. It is also not uncommon for inclement weather to occur during the competition, which further complicates the odometry issues.&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Improvements ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;font size=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The primary goals of the 2015 build season are to rebuild the drivetrain such that it is robust,&amp;amp;nbsp;while making drivetrain changes to also improve the odometry of the system.&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Primary Goals ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: small; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The team for the 2015 competition year has met several times to discuss the primary goals for the system rebuild. These requirements are outlined below, in order of highest priority to lowest priority.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol style=&amp;quot;line-height: 20.7999992370605px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Eliminate chain and sprocket design and replace with a more reliable design given our suspension setup.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Maintain the use of our wheel decoupling mechanism&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Eliminate skid-steer/differential drive&amp;amp;nbsp;design&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Hot-swap batteries/recharging circuit&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Secondary Goals ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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).&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol style=&amp;quot;line-height: 20.7999992370605px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

:We model our robot in Autodesk Inventor, and perform FEA with the inbuilt stress analysis tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Structure ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our robot frame consists of primarily 1&amp;quot; steel tubing that has been custom designed and welded in-house. Steel tubing is chosen largely for its rigidity, with design emphasis on ruggedness and high payload capabilities, similar to that seen in military environments. The frame provides partitions for electronics, motors and sensors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Suspension ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Much emphasis has been placed into the design of the robot's suspension. The primary objectives of off-road capability and vibration damping (for sensors) have been achieved by allowing for independent suspension for the rear wheels. The robot sports 3&amp;amp;nbsp;ATV wheels and heavy-duty shock absorbers, allowing it to traverse rough terrains at high speeds while damping residual and transient vibrations to the sensors and giving each wheel up to 5 inches of vertical travel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Drivetrain ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The vehicle utilizes caster wheel&amp;amp;nbsp;mechanics by with each of the two rear wheels being powered by a motor through a gearbox with a reduction of 30 to 1. The two 4.5 HP Ampflow motors ensure&amp;amp;nbsp;that the robot will not get bogged down in muddy or rocky terrain. Additionally, this allows for a top speed upwards of 20 MPH to be achieved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Weatherproofing ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heavy emphasis is placed on making the robot resistant to weather. The custom-machined gearboxes are sealed shut and snap-on body panels cover the entirety of the robot to keep water from directly seeping in. Additionally, water run-off flaps are attached to all sides of the body panels. Splash guards are also employed to keep water and debris thrown from the wheels from entering the region with the motor controllers and other electronics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The button panel and electronics mounted on the mast also reside in weather resistant enclosures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Other things ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The robots sports a variety of features that make it easy to maintain and operate. The body panels are easily removed via thumbscrews from any location, providing easy access to anywhere on the robot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Emphasis is also being placed on ensuring ease of testing and transportation of the robot. Basic design parameters have been adhered to, such as making the width of the vehicle fits through a standard doorway and making vehicle such that the overall height fits with the transportation trailer.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This page houses the information for IGVC Mechanical build for the 2015 competition year. Below are details pertaining to the team's design for the 2015 year, and the motivation behind all engineering decisions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Background ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Current Robot ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;font size=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The team has taken part in IGVC for many years. Generally the mechanical base is a rugged design intended to serve as a platform for offroad autonomous navigation, In recent years, the vehicles generally exhibit 4 wheel drive with significant emphasis on suspension and power transmission.&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Previous Issues ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;font size=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The primary&amp;amp;nbsp;robot&amp;amp;nbsp;used in the 2013 and 2014 competition was a 4 wheel drive vehicle that utilized chains and sprockets to transmit power. Due to the suspension setup and the weight of the robot, there was significant misalignment with the interior and exterior sprockets, causing the chain to derail. Efforts in 2014 to improve this design proved to be insufficient.&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;font size=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Additionally, these robots utilized skid-steer/differential drive, which works very well in the terrain encountered in competition, but presents odometry problems that needlessly complicate the efforts of the software development team. It is also not uncommon for inclement weather to occur during the competition, which further complicates the odometry issues.&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Improvements ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;font size=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The primary goals of the 2015 build season are to rebuild the drivetrain such that it is robust,&amp;amp;nbsp;while making drivetrain changes to also improve the odometry of the system.&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;line-height: 20.7999992370605px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Requirements&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Primary Goals ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: small; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The team for the 2015 competition year has met several times to discuss the primary goals for the system rebuild. These requirements are outlined below, in order of highest priority to lowest priority.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol style=&amp;quot;line-height: 20.7999992370605px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Eliminate chain and sprocket design and replace with a more reliable design given our suspension setup.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Maintain the use of our wheel decoupling mechanism&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Eliminate skid-steer/differential drive&amp;amp;nbsp;design&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Improve weatherproofing&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Add a newer, more low-profile LIDAR.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Hot-swap batteries/recharging circuit&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Secondary Goals ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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).&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol style=&amp;quot;line-height: 20.7999992370605px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Make a more compact, lightweight gearbox&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Improve vehicle aesthetics&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Specifications ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul style=&amp;quot;line-height: 20.7999992370605px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Robot dimensions should not exceed AA x BB x CC inches for competition&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Robot dimensions should not exceed DD inches in width for ease of transportation through common door thresholds&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Robot dimensions should not exceed EE inches in height for ease of transportation in our trailer.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;E-stop should be located at FF inches from the ground&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;E-stop to be located at approximately GG inches from the ground for safety purposes while testing (RoboJackets criteria)&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Mechanical chassis to exhibit rounded corners for safety purposes&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Development ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;[http://wiki.robojackets.org/mediawiki/Autodesk Inventor Autodesk Inventor]&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
:We model our robot in Autodesk Inventor, and perform FEA with the inbuilt stress analysis tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Structure ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our robot frame consists of primarily 1&amp;quot; steel tubing that has been custom designed and welded in-house. Steel tubing is chosen largely for its rigidity, with design emphasis on ruggedness and high payload capabilities, similar to that seen in military environments. The frame provides partitions for electronics, motors and sensors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Suspension ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Much emphasis has been placed into the design of the robot's suspension. The primary objectives of off-road capability and vibration damping (for sensors) have been achieved by allowing for independent suspension for the rear wheels. The robot sports 3&amp;amp;nbsp;ATV wheels and heavy-duty shock absorbers, allowing it to traverse rough terrains at high speeds while damping residual and transient vibrations to the sensors and giving each wheel up to 5 inches of vertical travel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Drivetrain ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The vehicle utilizes caster wheel&amp;amp;nbsp;mechanics by with each of the two rear wheels being powered by a motor through a gearbox with a reduction of 30 to 1. The two 4.5 HP Ampflow motors ensure&amp;amp;nbsp;that the robot will not get bogged down in muddy or rocky terrain. Additionally, this allows for a top speed upwards of 20 MPH to be achieved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Weatherproofing ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heavy emphasis is placed on making the robot resistant to weather. The custom-machined gearboxes are sealed shut and snap-on body panels cover the entirety of the robot to keep water from directly seeping in. Additionally, water run-off flaps are attached to all sides of the body panels. Splash guards are also employed to keep water and debris thrown from the wheels from entering the region with the motor controllers and other electronics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The button panel and electronics mounted on the mast also reside in weather resistant enclosures.&lt;br /&gt;
