Finished prototyping on all considered designs. We have decided to disregard the "Bicep Hang" design as it is difficult to implement due to the fact that it causes issues with balancing, and because it would be difficult to stop it from contacting the "Anchor" of the cage. We are moving forward, beginning with CAD designs of the "Double Lever Hang" design because it has the best center of gravity for the hang, and it is relatively simple to implement on the robot, not taking up much space.
- Selected potential gearbox and motors for hang designs
1/18/2025 - CAD:
- Came up with ideas for stop mechanism (Ratchet and Pawl mechanism.)
- Worked on an idea for outward moving riggers to keep the robot balanced during hang.
- Worked on a CAD model for the double lever hang, including custom made lifter arms.
TO DO:
- Work with Drive Base and Game piece to finalize drive base dimensions
- Continue CAD design
- Work on the Ratchet Mechanism in CAD
- Figure out where the battery will be placed on the robot
- CAD design for the funnel/game piece guider
