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
What to do 10/12/06: Manipulator team: Continue reading documentation, try to make headway towards seleceting solenoids (for shooting mechanism) and motor (for dribbler). There is someone working on the solenoids in the electrical group, so when you have some information get with him.
Drive Train Team: Select a set of bevel gears, coupler (if needed, may be able to avoid because of bevel) and specifically which gear box. After that is done, work on putting all these componenets in inventor and placing them in the robot dimensions.
-Ryan
Homework!!!
1) Go to Maxon motor's website. Look at 6 W DC motors. Look for accompanying gears ( keep in mind shaft length and diameter. Look on www.mcmaster.com if you cannot find maxon gears). Perhaps accompanying gearboxes. Also, note physical size of motor and output RPM.
2) Read Cornell Papers on Mechanical page.
3) Ponder on Dribbler speed and assumptions.
Due: October 2nd
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
