Wednesday - Week 9


 Being as efficient as possible this week,we have been able to begin our new and improved robot for the next challenge: weight pull. Bringing in as much torque as possible our compound gearing is sure to get the job done. We all look forward to putting our design to the test.

Monday - Week 9

This week we tore apart our ball challenge build and began thinking of idea's for the weight pull challenge. We have a design in mind and plan to execute it. The following pictures include the final pictures of our ball challenge bot.

Friday- Week 8


 Being as efficient as possible this week,we have been able to finish the racket ball challenge to begin our next challenge; weight pull. Bringing in as much torque as possible our compound gearing is sure to get the job done. We all look forward to designing this robot. Below are the pictures of the finish solid works for the racket ball challenge.

Monday - Week 8

This week probably won't have much in store due to testing. Today is the only day I will be fully in class and Thursday and Friday are the only other days that the group can work. We should be able to finish Solidworks and hopefully the racquetball challenge this week.

Here is the Autonomous Racquetball Challenge we completed:

Friday - Week 7

This was a short work week for us due to super testing days. Nevertheless, we were able to complete the ball drop challenge using remote control. Our greatest challenge this week was ensuring we had sufficient TORQUE. To do this we used compound gearing.

Wednesday- Week 7

Studying compound gearing for the arm of the robot for the ball challenge.  The current set up for the compound gears does not supply sufficient truck to lift the weight of the ball and the arm. Below is the new design that is to be implemented.
