Factors to be considered Control speed of bot Play around with idea of getting bot to move if flipped over Tracks instead of wheels for more traction Clean body work (prevent east disablement) Light- Flashing lights to distract Sound-buzzing sounds to distract Supports to prevent Bot from being flipped Attac Drive Maximum weight Structure Defence Low to ground Sumo Bot Power Materials Aluminium not steel More power towards flipper Attack Plastic may be to light Sand cast flipper Clamp Spike Claw Flippers
What was learned from Modelling • 1. The original height of the robot could be designed to be 20mm lower, which we previously listed was to be a design feature. • 2. There are approx. 6-7 main areas where weight can be saved due to unnecessary walls or floor components. • 3. Flipper mechanisms have been identified. Example: no use of gears, just direct link to the flipper drive shaft from the servo. • 4. It is very possible to keep our robot close to the floor, making it harder to flip or to get under.
New Revised Idea • What has improved: • The front flipper has a completely new mechanism. Designed to tip, not to lift. • Guard rails along the side
