  1. Deric Solis Dale Hussung Courtney Henry Sebastian Paniagua Josh Walker Steven Moyer Hunter Davison Robin Peeples Justin Alabaster Drive Train and Power

  2. Chassis Material • HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) – Low cost, low weight, easily to work with • Often used as 3D printer filament • Sheet Metal, Aluminum – Low cost, low weight

  3. Design by: Dale Hussung

  4. Wheels • Mecanum wheels allow for multidirectional movement without turning • No reputable sources on difference in power consumption • Same force and velocity as standard wheel • Traction may be an issue in either case • Mecanum wheels remove issue of reorienting targeting system during line following

  5. Microcontroller • We recommend the Arduino Mega or Due • Both more robust than Uno • Mega has higher operating voltage (5v) compared to Due (3.3v) • Due has more on board memory (512 Kb) as opposed to Mega (128 Kb) • Plenty of I0 Pins (12 PWM for Due and 15 PWM for Mega)

  6. Batteries • High quality rechargeable batteries are preferred for high drain devices • More likely to provide advertised output • We recommend 7.4 Volt, 2100 mAh RC batteries • More than enough voltage and current for the competition limits

  7. Servos/Motors • Good quality servos are a must • Light, quick acceleration, smooth operation and faster response time
