Fast Bot, Challenge #4
Step 1 (Identify the problem)- My design team (Sean Davies, Nick White, and Brandon Barreira) have to design a robot that can travel 20 feet as fast as possible and then go back to its initial starting point. We must use lab view to calculate the amount of times are axle will need to turn (6.7) to turn the wheels at a 5:1 gear ratio.
Step 2 (Research)- Our group did research on how to make the fastest robot possible taking both size and a proper gear ratio into consideration. We researched more compact robots with less flexibility and realized they were faster then robots with more flexibility.
Step 3 (Brainstorm ideas)- Our first idea was going to use a gear train, but it ended up failing, so we decided to use a more complex gear train that had gears on its sides.
