Habitat climb/descend design decisions, notes, and specifications go here!
1/12/2019
Goals: [edit]
- Complete working prototype
- figure out all forces
Accomplishments/Creations:[edit]
- 2 versions of a prototype that work without weight
- Good CAD made and lots of math
Learned:[edit]
- There is too much friction to slide up the skid plate the way we are now
- We need bigger pistons to life the full robot
Questions/Ideas:[edit]
- Idea- Have 4 pistons facing straight up, and have a motor on the foor to drive us onto the step.
Concerns:[edit]
- Amount of PSI needed to life robot
- weight
- space if we have big piston in the front or middle

Prototype of robot propulsion for hab designed and tested. Mechanism broke after 3rd attempt
Excerpt from Test 3 Results "Level 3 scale in progress, Try #3 - 12" height, one 9" piston, 80psi."
