Hello Everyone
I realized that I was bored and said why not design a robot for fun. My main goal is to design a strange looking but efficient system. I prepared a draft design so that the robot can perform its tasks. I seem to have a lot of questions for you during the robot design process.
#Priority List
Must do all the tasks perfectly
Minimalist elevator system
Fast intake system
The maximum and minimum lengths of the robot are be short as possible
Side climb for charging station (Not Fork)
I prepared a draft design so that the robot can perform its tasks (Very simple design, i want to spend my time on the main design).
I think the most efficient intake system is the 1678’s intake system. I left a gap of 50mm for the cone intake part and 180mm for the cube intake part. but I don’t think a 180mm gap will be enough for cube purchase. i will make a fix to this in the main design.
I will continue to share my designs from time to time. Your questions and suggestions are very important to me. REMEMBER MY PURPOSE IS TO HAVE FUN
I’m using 1678 intake (it’s really big and heavy) probably the robot will be imbalance. but last night a friend asked me why don’t you use 972’s elevator connection. I had a sudden awareness and started designing as soon as I got up. I configured it a bit according to my own design. (Thx 972 )
It has a thickness of 10mm and I think it will completely prevent imbalance
(I used aluminum and maybe I can do 8mm)
There is also a 3 mm version for the inside of the elevator profile.
This is what it looks like when I connect it to the prototype chassis;
It seems to solve the balance problem completely. Now my first job is to create and assemble the main frame of the elevator. I will do the chassis later as the intake system is too big and I want to do side climbing.
I’m also undecided whether to use the rope and pulley system the 972 uses to move the elevator. It’s actually a very logical system and it works efficiently, but it’s a bit risky to do this. If i do i plan to use 3mm steel wire and v-groove bearing.
Anyway, I’ll post here as I continue the design. It would be great if you send your ideas and questions, see you soon
I have finished the basic design of the elevator system and everything is going great. If i make the last stage of the elevator and attach the movement elements, most of the elevator will be finished.
But I have a few questions and fears on my mind
Elevator angle may be insufficient
The lowest level of the elevator may be too high
intake may not match the height of the elevator
a small design mistake I may have overlooked could ruin the whole design
width of the lift with all fasteners 266mm (10.47244in)
I’m progressing well now and haven’t encountered any problems. I hope it continues like this.
By the way, I decided to use chains or belts instead of ropes in the system. I will continue tomorrow.
Do not forget to write your questions and ideas, have a nice day
I reserved a space right under the elevator for the battery. If there is a problem due to the weight balance, I can easily solve the problem with a few minor changes. Thanks for reminding
Hi guys
I was out of town for a while and forgot my computer’s charging cable
That’s why I couldn’t design and share. But today I finished the chassis with a bit of tinkering.
Normally I was planning to build the chassis later, but I realized that I had to determine the chassis limits before I made the intake system.
I made minor changes to the elevator, but these are simple dimensional changes. Now it’s time for the intake system. actually i was going to do the intake system of 1678 but i gave up on that. Too big and bulky. Instead I have an original design in mind. If I can it will be great.
Do not forget to share your comments and ideas. See you later
