Fine Tuning

This week we continue making our robot on solid works, also we are fine tuning our robot to better compete with our opponents in the class. We are planning on finishing sometime this week.

Solidworks cont.

This week we've made substantial progress with our solidworks robot. We have also added an upgrade to our compound gear system we hope adds more torque to it.

Solid Works

Today we started to build our robot in solid works, so far we are trying to remember how to unzip files, but after that we will be smooth sailing!!! Also we continue working on building our physical robot to hopefully win our tug of war challenge.

Finished chassis

This week we have finished building the chassis of our robot. This includes the redesigned compound gear system, and even programming the brain.

Redesign

This week we have started rebuilding our gear system. This new setup will require less shaft collars so we will meet our limits

Compound gears

This week we have begun construction on our tug-of-war robot. We came up with an idea for our compound gear system (shown in the picture) which is meant to have a lot of torque.

HOT SQUAD

Hopefully this week we will start building our robot for the tug of war. We have many ideas that we think will work well with our task and are definitely outside of the box

1st week - Friday

So, after almost an entire week of dismantling and organizing robot parts, we took Friday off to practice Solidworks.  Reattaching screws to bolts can definitely get very boring after a while, so it was nice to have a temporary change of direction.  Our team still patiently awaits when we can finally start building our robots and have many ideas for the "Tug-of-War" challenge
