Week 5 and 6

​Build Log Week 5 and 6

• Mechanical:
  • The Rotation/ Ball Collector
    • Issues We Have Had with Attachment:
      • The rotation was already attached, but the wholes were not lined up with the attachment bracket and the belly pan, so we went underneath the robot, having it separated and stable, marked the holes, and drilled them then

• • The climber
    • Hook: easy to machine with lexan, light and durable
    • We are looking how to release friction in the elevator
  • The Bumpers
    • Opposite corner bumpers
    • We had to re-modify our cart to fit it

 

• Batter Holder
  • New battery holder-much more stable, with blocks of metal and brackets that hold it in place
  • Old Battery holder: bent metal attached to belly pan

Design:           

• The Climber
  • Custom brackets for our winch with lexan—made on our mini CDC machine
    • We originally used the Andy mark ones but due to mounting issues, we used a similar design and modified it
  • Cascading Elevator-
    • Cascading vs. continuous:
      • Simpler design
      • We are not hanging, so it makes more sense
