The final Phase 2 robot design followed our Phase 1 robot proposal and further develop the robot arm and refine the hopper. Initially, the design was to spear and flip loops into a top hopper on the robot. However, as we started to consider collecting loops placed in any orientation, the robot arm design soon [...]
In anticipation to collect loops that were placed in any direction, a double claw robot was built. This design was later discarded due to concerns with its efficiency and maneuverability, but the robot was such a massive and impressive creation, its design concept is documented here for the record. The Claw Robot Design was divided [...]
The Robot Proposal is divided into couple design components: End Effectors: fork flipper and cable claw Motors: 2 Power Function and 3 NXT motors Drivetrain: rear wheel drive, 2 wide flat rubber tires, 1 tank tread, 2 front skis Sensors: EOPD, compass, ultrasonic sensors Accessories: IR Link, Magnets, Video Camera
