After multiple sessions designing the launcher, Johnny, Daniel, and Marco have finally created one of the major components of the first vex robot. After visiting their first robotics competition in Flushing Queens, new design concepts along with some minor constraints were obtained. The wheels driving the system have to have at least four wheels on each side in order to make official contact with the ball. Being that the ball is about 3-4 inches in diameter, the wheels are positioned perpendicular to the platform on each side; allowing the ball to make 45% more contact than conventional methods. In terms of other methods, Daniel has taken his own initiative and developed a crossbow-like launching system. Though it is a prototype for the final robot, it is deemed quite innovative according to his other teammates.

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

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 llia...
