2010 Main Robot Design

Drivetrain Design

  • 4 Direct Drive CIM Motors
  • 16:1 Banebots Transmissions
  • 2 Traction Wheels in the Front
  • 2 Omni Wheels in the back

Main Goals:

  • Be able to go over the bumps
  • Be manueverable
  • Keep Balls from going underneath the robot

Mechanical 1 Design - Lift & Structure

  • Using a mechanical telescope driven by pushing a cable up a tube to lift a hook
  • Designed to lift the robot from either side off of the bump
  • Has a pivoting mechanism that angles the telescope to the left or right depending on which side of the tower the robot is on
  • Hook has a shepards crook design to be able to easily grab the high bar
  • Winch pulls the telescoping tube back towards the robot to lift the robot off the ground
  • Should be able to lift above needed height in under 5 seconds
  • Using CIM Motor, but may be able to use Fischer Price if necessary

Main Goals:

  • Lift Robot above platform height as fast as possible (faster than 5 seconds)
  • Extend lift and capture bar in under 5 seconds.
  • Create an upper structure that supports the lift mechanism
  • Create an upper structure that deflects balls
  • Create an upper structure that potentially deflects balls towards the front of the robot

Mechanical 2 Design - Kicker & Beater Bar

  • Using 2 window motors and an electronic clutch
  • Uses a "thunderfoot" kicker springloaded with surgical tubing to kick the ball
  • Kicker will have variable positioning to kick ball different distances
  • Beater bar is a simple spinning bar in the front of the robot that just spins to pull the balls into the robot and hold them while turning

Main Goals:

  • Be able to kick the ball at distances from all 3 locations on the field (near, middle, far)
  • Be able to score the ball when in the near zone
  • Be able to control/possess balls while driving around the field

Motors List

  • 4 CIM Motors - Drivetrain
  • 1 CIM Motor - Lifter: Winch & Pushing cable
  • TBD Motor - Pivoting Mechanism
  • 2 Window Motors - Kicker
  • TBD Motor - Beater Bar
  • 2 Fisher Price, 2 Window motors, and 2 Mabuchi motors remaining

Sensors List

  • 4 Banebots Encoders - Drivetrain
  • 1 TBD Encoder - Electronic Clutch
  • 1 BeamBreak Sensor - Ball Kicker
