Mechanical System

This page breaks down the mechanical system of the Robots. The problem has been broken down into five phases as follows:

• Have ya'll checked out these papers yet? They are definately worth looking at. --Andy 23:47, 26 September 2006 (EDT)

Announcements

01-18-07 Checking out plates holding axle - will also design support for motors. I will also rename and add material properties, etc - these attributes didn't transfer well from Inventor.

-Jason

01-18-07 Drivetrain has been uploaded as Solid Edge .par files. The zip file can be found here: File:Solid edge.zip

-John

10-30-06 I will be late to the meeting.

To do list: 1)Create single document with all needed parts and part #'s for ordering.

2)Drive Train: Encoders we found, will not work. Electrical team is looking for another encoder. Work on CAD model, put in bearings for axles, and mounting plates. Cantilever wheels are ok.

3)Manipulator: Select components to populate order sheet (see above). Begin modeling in CAD.

Update 10-12-06

I edited the Dribbler page with some useful info.

-Pat

Found bevel gears, but we will still need a coupler or custom shaft. Bevel Gears (sdp-si) part #: A 1B 3MYK05040 - same gears, 1 to 1 ratio.

Roadmap

• Phase 1
  • Simple prototype with holonomic drive train made from the Vex Robotics kit (Complete)
• Phase 2
  • Build a second fully functioning prototype
  • Kiwi drive system
  • Dribbler and shooter
  • Built to competition dimensions and requirements
• Phase 3
  • Detail design of entire mechancial system
  • Five robots
  • Design Presentation to ME department
  • Technical Drawings (AutoCAD or Inventor)
• Phase 4
  • Purchase parts and assemble robot fleet
• Phase 5
  • Test system and update designs
