Provisional Pivot Drive Chassis Drawings - 1-January-2010 - Clem

A body of Drawings have been created using AutoDesk Inventor based upon a provisional Pivot Drive design. pdf versions of these drawings are provided below.

In addition, there are a couple useful excel worksheets

BUMP traverse analysis & Proposed Drive-train/Chassis - 13-January-2010 - Clem

Read Over the Hump, an analysis of a proposed Drive-train / Chassis (4-wheel Pivot Drive with 4" wheels and 28" wheelbase) traversing Breakaway's BUMP.

On Monday, 11-Jan, we decided on:

  • Using 4wd
  • Pivot is our 1st choice in drive-train. If this is impractical, we would use Mecanum drive or would fix the Pivots and drive as a Tank.
  • Robot frame needs to avoid ball entrapment
  • We want to be able to go over bumps and through the tunnel
  • We want to hang from the tower. If we need to decide between hanging and going through the tunnel, we'll select hanging.
  • In Autonomous, we should
  • Score 1 ball if in the alliance zone & clear the goal area
  • Score or move-to-alliance-zone 2 balls if in Mid Field
  • Move 3 balls to Alliance Zone or Mid field if in Opposing Field.
