To do
To Be Done
- Finish design for Ball constraint in kicker
- Find where we need mechanical stops
- Raise battery
- Locate kicker stop
- Clearance for electrical
- Area (Bottom Pan for electrical between motors
- Side Restraints
Conflicts
- Kicker path and D.T. stabilizers
Design Analysis
Stress Analysis
- An alumninum rod fixed where the bearings are
- A steel rod fixed where the bearings are
Current Design
- shooting takes 1-2 seconds
- a kicker strikes the ball through 2 bars (cradle)
- Linked with intake with a motor in the cradle structure pulling and pushing intake
Equipment Requirements/Size
- Weight
- 45 LBS
- CIM motors
- 4 mini
- 2 reg
Thurs Jan 9
Sat Jan 11
- Still working on Fundamentals for design
* Calculating how far the kicker has to move
- Calculating if motor driven is possible for Kicker
- met with collection
- integrate our cradle with the collection
- What type of material should we use
- Better to have a longer kicker than a lighter one
Accomplishments/Results
- Kicker must move about 80 - 90 degrees
- If you go any less than that you need more motors
- How to stop kicker motion
* nylon strap
- blocking plate
End of Day Design
Sun Jan 12
- Continue work on 3D design in inventor
- Determine geometry of Our kicker to the ball and cradle
- Our kicker has to be curved at some point so that we get the max speed into the ball rather than rotation
- We Finished drive trains CAD
- Worked on CAD for shooter
Tues Jan 14
- worked more with intake to get a linkage working
- messed some more with the geometry of the shooter
- Made a physical mock-up of the shooter
*cradle
- kicker
- Worked more on the CAD mock-up
Current Design
