*Roller and dribbler gear spin on dribbler shaft

==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.
 +
 
 +
=====Dimensional Analysis=====
 +
* Using the Buckingham Pi theorem, an unknown function expressing the moment the dribbler roller puts on the ball based on other parameters was developed.
 +
* The inputs to this function can now guide the testing plan for the dribbler
 +
* The mom<math>f(mu)</math>
 +
[[Image:Dribblerdimension.png]]
 +
 
 +
==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
 +
*several 4mm holes were widened to .170" holes to allow easy assembly with the 8-32 threaded shaft
 +
*it proved very difficult to even squeeze 4mm shaft through the thrust bearings
 +
*due to unknown errors a few addtional washers were placed in the assembly
 +
*on the left arm a small cut was created to allow the motor shaft to protrude
 +
*a new motor plate was created and fits flush to the motor
 +
*it was found when the original motor plate was attached and fastended, it would add a high amount of friction and actually stalled the motor
 +
*a big issue is that the 2 dribbler arms must be connected around either the back or the front - and not rotate independently
 +
*this independent rotation swivels the motor around, putting more stress and wear on the gears, or makes the gears not even mesh
 +
*the small standoff closest to the motor was replaced with a hex standoff, as it would hit the motor gear slightly if the motor was pushed up a bit
 +
*a 4mm die will be purchased to thread the shafts, preventing boring of 4mm holes
 +
 
 +
==Changes from Prototype==
 +
* a standoff now near the roller itself to provide structural stability, connect the two formerly independent swing arms, and protect the motor from ball impacts
 +
* clinch nuts will be used to anchor the assembly to the robot, making it much easier to remove the dribbler assembly
 +
* the motor mount plate now connects to the hinge axis, the motor, and the front standoff
 +
* the 4mm hinge and roller shafts will be threaded to fit 4mm hex nuts
 +
* the gear ratio between the motor and roller has increased from 1:1.4 to 1:1.75
 +
* the dribbler roller diameter has increased from .5" to 5/8"
  
  
*Example geared down dribbler bar speed used in CMU robots ~7800 RPM

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.
Dimensional Analysis
  • Using the Buckingham Pi theorem, an unknown function expressing the moment the dribbler roller puts on the ball based on other parameters was developed.
  • The inputs to this function can now guide the testing plan for the dribbler

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
  • several 4mm holes were widened to .170" holes to allow easy assembly with the 8-32 threaded shaft
  • it proved very difficult to even squeeze 4mm shaft through the thrust bearings
  • due to unknown errors a few addtional washers were placed in the assembly
  • on the left arm a small cut was created to allow the motor shaft to protrude
  • a new motor plate was created and fits flush to the motor
  • it was found when the original motor plate was attached and fastended, it would add a high amount of friction and actually stalled the motor
  • a big issue is that the 2 dribbler arms must be connected around either the back or the front - and not rotate independently
  • this independent rotation swivels the motor around, putting more stress and wear on the gears, or makes the gears not even mesh
  • the small standoff closest to the motor was replaced with a hex standoff, as it would hit the motor gear slightly if the motor was pushed up a bit
  • a 4mm die will be purchased to thread the shafts, preventing boring of 4mm holes

Changes from Prototype

  • a standoff now near the roller itself to provide structural stability, connect the two formerly independent swing arms, and protect the motor from ball impacts
  • clinch nuts will be used to anchor the assembly to the robot, making it much easier to remove the dribbler assembly
  • the motor mount plate now connects to the hinge axis, the motor, and the front standoff
  • the 4mm hinge and roller shafts will be threaded to fit 4mm hex nuts
  • the gear ratio between the motor and roller has increased from 1:1.4 to 1:1.75
  • the dribbler roller diameter has increased from .5" to 5/8"
