  1. Hovercraft Presentation 1 Group 2 Presented By:

  2. Objectives • Build a working, autonomous hovercraft • Complete the course, even if it takes all the allotted time. • Maximize maneuverability of the hovercraft • Make the lightest and most cost efficient hovercraft possible

  3. Our Subgroups • Programming: Justin Coe, Kyle Dick • Skirt and Body: Curtis Sharkey, Josh Balsam, Justin Hanacek • Propulsion: Stefan Swan, Smita Patel, Anakizi Ackla

  4. Programming • Assignments • To learn how to program the RCX using robolab • Determine optimal type and position of sensor on hovercraft • Create efficient algorithm • Coordinate the use of the sensors and fans to steer the hovercraft

  5. Skirt and Body • Assignments: • Design and build a durable and lightweight body and skirt • Find the best placement of parts • Use cost efficient materials • Create a leak free seal to the body of hovercraft

  6. Lift and Propulsion • Assignments: • Choose the adequate placement of fans • Find powerful yet efficient fans to propel the hovercraft • Find reversible fans • Determine the best methods to power the fans

  7. Group Networking • Programming and Propulsion • Need to cooperate to combine programs controlling hovercraft with the methods we choose to propel it. • Skirt & Body and Propulsion • Need to interact so we know where we can choose and place the different parts • All groups will collaborate and talk so everyone knows what is going on

  8. Group Communication • E-mail • Instant Messaging/Chat Room • In Class • During Discussions • Weekly Meetings • Teléfono

  9. Structural Base

  10. Method of Sealing the Skirt

  11. Preliminary Model

  12. Preliminary Model Distribution of Weight

  13. Our Wish List • RCX • Lexan (for the base material) • Rubber (car inner tube or thin material for skirt) • Battery Holder (for 8 double AA’s) • 2 axial fans • 1 lift fan • Relays • Zener Diodes (6) • LED’s • Wire

  14. Credits • Justin Hanacek: Typed up PowerPoint, helped create PowerPoint, presented PowerPoint • Josh Balsam: Made CAD designs, helped create PowerPoint • Stefan Swan: Helped Create PowerPoint, Presented Powerpoint • Smita Patel: Helped Create PowerPoint, Presented PowerPoint • Justin Coe: Helped Create PowerPoint • Kyle Dick: Helped Create Powerpoint • Anakizi Ackla: Helped Create PowerPoint • Curtis Sharkey: Helped Create Powerpoint
