Winter Internship 2019

Winter Internship 2019 January 02, 2019 In January 2,   since I already have a robot to work on, this internship I am planning to use this opportunity to maintain the robot by comparing the speeds and the load in the robot to make it more stable. January 07, 2019 During the summer internship, I had to make several changes to the robot and it was really hard to switch the idea between one technique and another. So this time I decided to learn 3D designing and build the 3D design of the robot. It will help me to manipulate the robot by using different function. January 08, 2019 On Wednesday, I spent the whole day learning 3D designing. January 10, 2019

Summer 2 Internship 2018

07/05/2018 Zachary managed to finish redesigning the extending claw. While the overall mechanism is now smaller than the original, it still has some of the same issues; the claw itself is too bulky and two motors may be needed to raise or lower the arm. After building the prototype for the launcher Deepa started working on the launcher by attaching it to the base. the base that I built using mecannum wheel and four motors for each and to increase the speed of the motors I used the chains and sprockets. 07/09/2018 Zachary is working on a prototype for the arm's turntable and lifting mechanism. Depending on the length of the lifting mechanism, he should be able to mount the arm on or near a corner of the robot. This should help resolve any mobility and dimension issues presented by the original approach, as well as make loading the launching mechanism easier. The lifting mechanism's concept can be described as "a glorified lever." The extending claw will be ra

VEX Robotics Competition: Transformer Prototype

VEX Robotics Competition : Transformer Prototype    I ntro The creative variability design of  robots dealing with   environments that  need  some unique mobility   presents challenges that can be tackled by the application of transformation principles for innovative design that opens  a larger  menu  of things that the robot   can do.    G oals O ur  research goals  for  participating in the VEX competition  are  not limited to  tackl ing  the main  objective  tasks, but to  invest  in higher score  opportunities  that call for   creative designs . An additional 6 bonus points are awarded for the team tha t secures the   center parking platform  a t   the  end of the  competition . The  center parking   platform  can be used by robots from either allianc e, it centers the two a lliance parking  p latforms that ar e   used for al liance parking  by robots of the same color a lliance as the p latform, and  therefore,   the center  platform  is exposed fro
