Black Box Robot Design Danny B Rocket Scientist AFM Stephanie H Mechanical Engineer Target
What went well? • What parts of your robot had success in competition? • How did you design those parts?
Requirements/Needs • Things the robot MUST do! • Make a List • Be super specific • This defines the robot’s function and says nothing about the “HOW” Making the Box
Must be able to build • Wood vs Metal • Access to Water Jet vs Basement • Pass Inspection • Check the rules each year! • No Concave Bumpers • Move Making the BoxRequirements List
Objectives/WANTS • Things the robot WANTS to do! • Ranked after Requirements/Needs • Things that would be nice to have • Different for every team Making the Box
Your team must be able to build it Pass Inspection Move Thing Thing Thing Thing Requirements Objectives The LIST
Things that pull in opposite directions • Speed Vs Torque (Pushing Power) • Weight Vs Complexity • High reach Vs low center of gravity Trade-ables
Game Challenge • Everything must fit on the piece of wood • It can not be more then 12in tall at start • Trigger activated by team member • Trigger can not cause device to rise • Device that rises the highest from the platform wins
Build A Box • Five Minutes • Show Volunteers • Requirements making the box • A few sketches of the design in the box
