Re: How much planning goes into your robot?
I'd Assume a lot of planning goes into every teams robot. Its kind of like the famous saying...measure twice cut once. You've got to go over and over on everything to make sure you're on the right track, then you put all your ideas into the actualy building of the bot.

Re: How much planning goes into your robot?
We don't usually spend a lot of time drafting, but we model with cardboard. After the robot is built with cardboard, we draw up dimesioned drawings and go from there.

Re: How much planning goes into your robot?
We CADed the frame, the Gearboxes, and I have at least 30 pages of notes(typed, CADed, written, or scribbled) detailing our autonomous system. We did calculations for the drivetrain, and manipulators. Everythign has at least a sketch. There are probably manipulator CAD drawings, but that's not really my part of the robot. I guess our team would fall under moderate calculations, and moderate draftings category. We don't have a cad model down to the last bolt of our robot, but we are doing ok.

Re: How much planning goes into your robot?
Our team in the past has had sketches and ideas, with a FEW drawing with numbers that disapeared somewhere after the design decision making was over with. This year, we handled things a bit different, making cardboard models of the robot, and I've been marking everythign about the drive train out on paper, running whatever math I can (trig) and using a pencil and calculator like a madman making sure everything works and all that.

Re: How much planning goes into your robot?
we created a lego model, agreed it was a good design, and built... built= measure...cut...fit...(if it doesnt fit, cut again or file)...get next piece...repeat...overweight? ..drill....drill....drill.....drill....
