Mechanical
Chassis:
-
Long chassis: 32” x 26”
-
6” rubber treaded wheels
-
4 motors, 6 wheels
Arm:
-
2 long arms to raise the intake
-
#35 chain & sprocket raises the intake
​
Arm Challenges Faced During Building Season:
-
Switched from a NEO to a CIM motor
-
Changed gearbox from 16:1 - 50:1
​
Intake:
-
Roller
-
Run by a mini CIM motor
-
Uses a sprocket & chain
Intake Challenges Faced During Building Season
-
Putting as little tension the Lexan
-
PVC pipes didn’t move
​
Hanger:
-
Not run by a motor
-
Flips up when it hits the low rung, then it can hang on the mid rung
-
We can also hang on the low rung if we wanted to
Electrical
​
Summary: this team wires the electrical components together to make the motors and other components work
​
Electrical Specs:
-
PDP - bought a new one
-
Voltmeter - we can easily check the voltage to the battery
-
Has wagon flaps - easier to use
-
-
CAN Bus system (we use a daisy chain network) - links each motor together
-
More clean/less messy than PWM Wires
-
Challenges Faced:
-
Re-doing the entire electrical board
-
Overlooked the LONG_ARM that ran through the entire bot
-
Had to drill a hole to fit wires for the PDH
-
Raise the PDH
-
-
Missing items like lugs and 6 Gauge wires
