Shooter Design
- Turret-mounted
- Approx. 280 degrees of rotation minimum need final range
- 1-degree precision
- Mechanical hardstops
- Absolute angular position sensor
- Combination sensors - one on motor output shaft, one on turrent drive sprocket
- Kit Window motor
- Geared down 48:188
- Controlled by speed controller (needed for fine adjustment)
- 2-Wheel shooter
- Must be able to impart backspin
- Fixed angle of shot -- approximately 70 degrees above floor
- Each wheel independently controlled (to control backspin)
- Powered by Fisher-Price (968-9013) motor on speed controllers
- Transmission -- AM-0002
- Sensor for RPM on each
- Provide sufficient resolution for rapid speed control update
- Identify sensor characteristics
- Camera mounted on turret
- Must have direct light source inline with lens
- Must be able to tilt
- Higher is better to see over robots in front of us
- Do we need pan?
2012:Shooter and Collector Camera
Beater Bar Design
- Fixed position within frame, as close to perimeter as possible
- 1 speed forward, 1 speed reverse (full speed? can use relay?)
- Pushes balls in and on to first conveyor section
- Banebots RS-775 motor
- Banebots P60 4-to-1 transmission, geared down 2-to-1 for total of 8-to-1
Wings/V-collector Design
- V-shaped collector outside of robot
- Articulated up/in and down/out -- 2-position motion
- Just a plain bars, no actual motion on the bars themselves
- Motion must be able to pull unloaded bridge down from horizontal
- Must extert 10lbs force at the tip to pull the unloaded bridge
- AM-0914 motor and associated gearbox
- Geared down 2-to-1 for additional torque (2-to-1 gives stall torque of 6200 oz-lbs = 380 inch-lbs)
- 2-to-1 gearing gives unloaded single-actuation of about 0.433 sec unloaded
- Loaded (bridge) actuation is about 0.525 seconds
- Mechanical hard-stops
- Absolute positional sensor
- Limit switches on both ends
Ball Movement/Storage System Design
- 3-stage conveyor system
- First 2 stages straight at approx. 45 degree rise
- Intake end begins behind front wheel, about 1" from floor
- Each stage uses....
- Additional banner-style very close to intake end (just past beater bar contact point) to count balls and know when we can stop intake on beater bar
Resources
- Ball Trajectory Calculation spreadsheet
- Math behind the above spreadsheet
- Foil Sim III - Air flow simulator; useful for approximating drag effects on a ball
- Motor Specs from FIRST
