  1. Brian Russell – Team Manager/ME Vince Baier – Lead Engineer/EE Tom Anderson – ME Dan Chin – ME Matt Padula – ME Emile Lebrun – EE Eric Harty - CE Robot Locomotion andPlant Platform

  2. Introduction First Team in project line Worked in conjunction with Navigation team Two teams continuing through 2009-3

  3. Project Expectations and Needs • Robot carries and cares for a plant • Robot moves slowly • Promotes innovation and green values at RIT • Friendly to passing pedestrians • Test stand produced for Navigation team • Must be able to return home • Last an entire day of roaming

  4. Interpretations • Two speeds required to move normally and turn • Needs high torque in order to overcome small obstacles and inclines in field • Return home mode should be manual • Dispense water when needed • Provide asylum for plant

  5. Designs Initial Design Current design

  6. Testing Goals actuals <10 in/min 22°/sec turning ~15 hr battery life 8.851 in*lb torque 2.3 Amp current draw ~130lb Plow • 10 in/min • 15°/sec turning • 9 hr battery life • 5-15 in*lb torque • 2 Amp current draw • 50lb

  7. Financial Summary

  8. Status • Plowing robot • DC-DC board now fully operational • Chain skip occurs when over tightened from motor to transmission • Encoders implemented with improved ones on order • Software interface fully functional

  9. Expectations of Future Teams • Integrate Shell of robot with locomotion components • Final integration with Navigation components • Field testing • Facebook/Twitter • Improvements in quality of modular parts
