This paper showcases concept to driving chassis for the Team 33 Killerbees 2010 robot.
This paper showcases concept to driving chassis for the Team 33 Killerbees 2010 robot. The paper is a compilation of several design studies used to define the 2010 chassis. This paper was specifically made as a handout to assist the students when talking about our design with the judges.
For more information about using Powerpoint to visualize CG migration, see my other paper from early in the season.
From the first time our team saw the bumps, we knew mobility would be very important to our strategy for this years game. Being able to transition smoothly over the bumps is not only important for durability and driver confidence, but it allowed us to do our 5 ball autonomous sequence when our partners were not able to kick the middle balls. This paper showcases the steps used in our design process and showcases what is underneath the skin.
This design was what I was eluding to in the paper regarding CG Migration of a Flat Chassis.
After we did our analysis, we felt that it was such a simple and powerfull tool that we should share it. I don’t like giving away too much as then people assume its easy. So I wrote this companion and posted it up early in the season to get people thinking.
As an added bonus, it makes a pretty neat flip-book!
