Students' Class project
OBJECTIVE:
Design, build and program a Robot that follows the obstacle way till mission point and then carries as many ping-pong balls as possible to base camp.

PROBLEMS
•Hardware: Building the grabber and mobile mechanism of the robot
•Software: Line Follower

MATERIALS & PROCEDURES:

Materials Used
Court & Ping-pong balls
MINDSTORMS NXT Base sets and resource sets
NXT-G Program
Laptop
Digital Camera, Stop watch

PROCEDUREs

Hardware Challenges

•We need a compact, lightweight grabber for our lifting and grabbing mechanism. The ultimate grabbing system we have designed for last six months allows us to transfer motion to distant parts through number of gears that precisely located and designed for specific purposes, away from the motors. A fingers introduced a degree of elasticity into the system, and helps the fingers close and open based on our precise degree and power which we set during our programming.
•The advantage of our skid-steer drive is its capability to turn on the spot, which allows our robot to operate in tight area. The downside to this is that when turning there is a lot of friction on surfaces such as our court. However, we overcome this friction through our programming skills. Our 6-wheeled skid-steer drive requires a trickier setup. We must transmit the power to all the wheels; otherwise, our platform wont turn smoothly, or it might not even turn at all. Our design uses a combination of number of 24t and 40t gears connected to two motors. This platform proofs be strong, fast, compact, and light.

Software Challenges

•Stage 1 From Base camp to Mission Area
•Stage 2 Mission Area (Operating and Loading the Balls using Grabber)
•Stage 3: From Mission Area back to Base Camp

  • @philipstar10 Thank you philip

  • Thank you and that's right. Transfer the energy to long distance through multiple gears.

  • awesome! nice gear construction!

  • @unheilig30 Thank you, 

  • cool!!!!

    say a german boy ô.ô :-)
