Killer Bees Chassis Design 2010
by: Jim Zondag

Overview of Team 33 2010 Articulating Chassis Design

We put this presentation together from our CAD models to showcase our unique Articulating Chassis Design. The was a very successful design and won several tech awards, including the Industrial Design Award in Atlanta. This design is actually simple in concept and execution, with a single actuator and a single pivot. The actuation is combined with the Lifter Arm Actuation, so we were able to motivate two devices with a single CIM motor with this design.

An important aspect to this design is that it allows us to have a very repeatable heading going over the bump in order to do a 5-ball autonomous. We would often defer to 3-ball for strategic reasons, but it was very useful in certain key situations.

Do you still have the cad models for this that you’d be willing to share?
