Calculations

Torsion Spring

• Analysis was done using the Work-Energy Principle with the assumption that the only work done is from the torsion spring and gravity. Because the dribbler assembly swings and has zero velocity at both positions, only the kinetic energy of the ball was used, at its maximum value of 10 m/s

Roller Speed

• Gears were selected for a gear ratio lower than 2007. The 2008 ratio is 1.5. This was with the hope of having more torque available for the roller to grip the ball.

Notes

• 4mm steel shaft chosen to increase strength to prevent bending of dribbler shaft when hit with a ball
• roller diameter - .5"
• dribbler shaft still slides free in between two snap-in thrust bearings and can be removed to allow the roller to be changed out

Dribbler bar prototypes

• shaft diameter on ends of bar - 3mm
• maximum diameter of dribbler - .75"
• the dribbler bar prototypes will be lathed and done coated with neoprene heat shrink

2007 Dribbler

Drive gear

• attached to the motor
• SDP/SI A-1B-2MYK05045 Data sheet
• 45 teeth, 3mm bore, 22.5mm pitch diameter

Dribbler gear

• attached to the roller. This is done by pressing having a set screw in the gear interfere with the roller. Both the gear and roller are free to spin on the shaft, which permitting easy change.
• SDP/SI A-1B-2MYKO5020H Data sheet
• 20 teeth, 3mm bore, 10mm pitch diameter

• gear ratio from motor to drilbber = 2.25

Motor

• 15.9mm diameter, 3mm output shaft
