This summer I have been writing a few tutorials about the more technical aspects of building a robot. For example, one discusses motor/gearbox theory and how to use it to choose the right motor/gearbox for an application. For the tutorials I have written thus far, I relied on the knowledge I gained during the past four years as a team member, or my own research. However, I also wanted to tackle a subject that I know many teams (including my own) struggle with: prototyping. I was wondering if anyone within the community would be willing to help me with this by answering a couple questions in a sort of interview. These questions will not be specific to this year (There is already an excellent discussion on prototyping in 2012
here), but more about your team’s general process/philosophy concerning prototypes.
If you are interested, please contact me in any way you see fit (post, PM, email, etc.), and I will work with you to set something up.
Thanks for your help, and I hope everyone continues to have an excellent summer.
