2012:Robot IO Map

    Robot Electromechanical Design Features 

DRIVETRAIN

• six wheel drive
• two CIM motors (maybe 4), one per side on speed controllers

 

BRIDGE MANIPULATOR

• bridge manipulator is the same as the guide wings of the ball collector

 

BALL ACQUISITION

• guide wings plus input roller (beater bar)
• one motor for roller - reversible and on speed controller
• wing actuator - motor or pneumatic???

BALL STORAGE

• three-stage conveyor system
• one motor for each conveyor segment (3 total), each on speed controller
• four beam-break sensors - one at each conveyor exit "parking" position and one at first conveyor entrance to stop input roller.

 

SHOOTER 

• two-wheel "pinch roller" shooter on rotating turret
• two motors for shooter (one for each wheel) so that relative speeds can be varied for backspin.
• an RPM sensor on each motor so that speeds can be matched, or purposely mismatched a known amount
• one motor for turret rotation
• a sensor for turrent position probably not necessary since it's kind of obvious (?)

IR Sensors

IR (infared) sensors are phototransistors that are used in conjunction with infareddiodes.
