Robot Electromechanical Design Features
Frisbee Scorer (Shooter/Dumper)
- Shooter
- motor type: mini-CIM
- variable speed motor drive: Jaguar
- sensor for motor RPM: rotary encoder
- Loader
- rotary carousel motor type: snowblower
- motor drive: variable speed or just maximum speed (relay)?
- sensor for how many frisbees have been loaded
- actuator for feeding frisbee to shooter: solenoid?
- Dumper
- Tilt
- motor type: ?
- variable speed motor drive: Jaguar
- sensors?
Climbing Mechanism
- Starting Position
- sensor for robot V at pyramid corner: optical beam break (Banner?)
- Deploy
- Release stationary arms: solenoid or servo
- Climb
- Extend & retract climbing arms
- motor type: 2x CIM
- motor drive: variable speed Jaguar
- arm position sensor: slotted optical sensor senses mechanical flag on shuttle - top, bottom, and home (middle). Redundant top and bottom?
- sensors for climbing arms locked on: microswitches or optical (need to prototype)
- microswitch with 2" lever arm measured to have 0.25" (1/4") travel at tip after switch engages before bottoming out (not much). Travel at tip from resting to engagement is about 0.1875" (3/16").
- Extend & retract climbing arms
Drivetrain
- 4 wheel or 6 wheel (?)
- motor type: 2x CIM
- variable speed motor controllers: 2x Jaguars
- sensor for motor RPM: rotary encoders
- Gyro
Robot Visual Indicators (pretty lights)
- ready to feed frisbee - at feed slot - green for OK to feed, red for don't feed
- how many frisbees loaded - visible from all sides
- shooter up to speed and ready?
- robot in position to climb - at top & sides of climber structure
- climber deployed - at top & sides of climber structure
- climber arms fully hooked on pyramid horizontal bar - at top of climber stucture
- climber at full extension - at top & sides of climber structure
- climber at full retract - at top & sides of climber structure
- robot front direction indicator - arrows (?) on sides that point forward
