Team 573 Presents: Velociraptor

[maverickfan138]

*Pictured without claw due to repairs

Drivetrain:
- 4 CIM motors
- Toughbox Nano Transmissions
- 8" mecanum wheels
- Geared for approx. 12 ft/sec

Appendage:
- Articulating arm made of 3/4" square aluminum tube
- Main arm powered by two window motors
- Forearm powered by two window motors
- Reaches 10 and 1/2 feet in the air
- Uses surgical tubing for passive assistance




End Effector:
- Roller claw fixed to the forearm
- Fan belts hold and manipulate tubes
- Banebots wheels grip tubes




Minibot:
- Vertical clamp to the pole
- Utilizes light switches instead of NXT controller
- Utilizes a three way switch to create a brake when the minibot back-drives down the pole




Deployment:
- Cradle behind appendage tower
- Two rails guide cradle to pole
- Pushed by a lead screw


Notes:
- We are still waiting on a 4/1 gearbox for our deployment system
- We just received our 64/1 gearboxes for our end effector today. The ones seen in the photo are off of our 2007 robot for testing
- With what's seen in the first photo, we weigh 111.4 lbs. Once we rebuild our claw and add it to the robot, we should be around 118.5 lbs.
