Re: Deployment Brainstorm
Huh, our team came up with a solution that has both of the ideas in this thread
Our deployer is a drawer slide, which is run by a fisherprice motor and goes straight out the back. The MINIBOT is held on by 4 inch aluminium tubes on the HOSTBOT end, and some PVC on the MINIBOT end. Our MINIBOT's motors start running when it gets a little way off the chassis, with a pin tied to the HOSTBOT and a limit switch on the MINIBOT. I can see why the GDC likes capitalizing stuff now  . |

Re: Deployment Brainstorm
Ours sounds very similar. Two 1.5 inch vertical pins on HOSTBOT deployment platform, PVC tubes on MINIBOT. One of the pin/tube setups had a horizontal locking pin though a hole in both the tube and pin which was attached to the HOSTBOT via strong cord so that the pin pulled out 'just in time' At setup, excess string was bunched up and secured with a loose zip tie so that it didn't mess with the HOSTBOT or otherwise get tangled.
Worked extremely well. |
