IEEE Region 3 SoutheastCon Hardware Competition 2017 Final Stage Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3
Stage 1: Stage 2: Stage 3: Final Stage: Rules
Stage 1: Determining Electrical Components Total height of inner black box is 10" middle node (ground) is 7" high • Ground in the middle • Resistor Inductor Capacitor Diode Wire • Discover which pad has what
Approach Making Contact Sensing Components Stage 1: Determining Electrical Components
Stage 2: Detecting Electromagnetic Field • Strike the vibration sensor • Then hit the vibration sensor every time the electromagnet is active. (4 more strikes) • Must detect for 30 seconds Tip: 10" high Base: 7" high Electromagnet: 1" high
Stage 3: Entering Code • Use code from Stage 1 Example: 3,5,1,2,4 • 3 CW rotations 5 CCW rotations 1 CW rotation 2 CCW rotations 4 CW rotations
Final Stage: Aiming Darts 6”x6” • Put 3 nerf darts through the hole • After final dart...Match ends • Shoot vs. Climb & drop 2” step 1” step 0.5” step
Final Stage: Firing the Darts Solenoids values for sudden decompression Compressed air (2 bar) inside flexible tubing Schrader valves for pump connection
Final Stage: Aiming Adjustable pitch Adjustable yaw Tower with hidden electronics
One start button One stop button Transmission of code from Stage 1 to Stage 3 Waiting to fire the last dart Communication
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) The tower (master) interrupts the other robots (slaves). Passive Ex: Master >> “s”(status) (done)“d” << slave Communication
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Active Ex: Master >> “b”(begin) (garbage)“#” << slave Communication
Start button Polls for status of 3 robots When gets “done” requests code Transmits code to dial When all “done”, fires last dart Communication
5th Place Results & Conclusion
