Analysis of Minibot deployment considerations and concepts. Updated 23 Jan 2011, Siri.
Scissors
- Initial concept for deploying the Minibot and applied to the V-bot.
- The system was to deploy transverse (to the side) and included an alignment bar with limit switches to help align the deployment system (and robot) with the tower. The alignment bar further served as a mechanical support for the scissors.
- Assembled for testing only on 20-February. Manual deployment tests indicated that this deployment method would not be reliable. Additional issues with off-axis deployment of the one or two 3/4" bore, 5" stroke pneumatic cylinders were unresolved.
