Revision as of 15:43, 19 January 2025
- 1/16/2025 -
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
1/19/2025 - CAD:
- Worked on CAD model for the ratchet and pawl mechanism and attempted to integrate it into the double lever hang design
- Lengthened the hex shafts on the CAD model to add another lever on both sides of the lever hang
- Mounting pieces for the motor were created and attached
- Troubles with integrating the ratchet and pawl mechanism became apparent due to lack of space
TO DO:
- Figure out how to orient the ratchet in order to accomplish a working relationship between both the ratchet and pawl mechanism, and the double lever hang mechanism
- Continue refining CAD designs for the mechanisms
- Check in with Game piece sub-team
- Have a conversation with electrical about the placement of the battery\
