Kickoff
We attended the kickoff at Upper Darby HS where we were introduced to Lunacy via the NASA telecast from FIRST's New Hampshire headquarters.
Week One - Research and Brainstorm (1/3-1/10)
- Inventoried the Kit of Parts
- Researched previous designs in old FIRST Behind the Design books
- Discussed dumping versus shooting, benefits of rotating, etc
- Researched, tested, and analyzed Rover wheels' frictional coefficients
- Analyzed wide versus long chassis and 4 wheel versus 6 wheel drivetrain
- Settled on 6-wheel drive wide chassis, designed based on the hypothetical 2008 drive system, cut necessary pieces
- Began discussing fishtailing the trailer and perpendicular/pivot wheels
- Began designing Moon Rock pick-up system and Empty Cell holder (t-rex gripper)
- Began discussing heads-up display
- Welding practice
- Worked on building trailers
- Began developing meeting planning model
- Began discussing field-sharing with local teams
Week Two - Prototype and Chassis Fabrication (1/11-1/17)
- Welding practice
- Welded chassis
- Researched and prototyped spiral hopper with brushes
- Designed 7th Wheel
- Determined control strategy details
- Worked on drive programming
- Worked on trailers
- Discussed field-sharing with local teams
Week Three - Chassis Fabrication and Hopper Prototyping (1/18-1/24)
- Examined stiff, spiral vanes
- Examined lexan-walled or aluminum-railed hopper
- Prototyped hopper and spindle (determined entire turret would rotate with potentiometer)
- Designed aluminum rail hopper
- Prototyped wheel and pneumatic shooters
- Designed single under-ball shooter
- Welded frame
- Completed and painted chassis
- Began fabricating 7th Wheel
- Milled gearbox gears
- Completed gearboxes
- Began wheel drive modules
- Worked on drive programming
- Examined traction control
- Worked on camera-control of hopper
- Continued discussing heads-up display
- Completed first trailer and outpost, continued working on second
- Continued developing meeting planning model
Week Four - Hopper Fabrication (1/25-1/31)
- Prototyped beater-bar shooters
- Settled on pneumatic shooter
- Milled bearing blocks
- Finished wheel drive modules
- Fabricated beater-bar
- Drove chassis base
- Finished 7th Wheel
- Finished tank drive programming
- Designed battery mount
- Bent and welded outer hopper spiral
Week Five (2/1-2/7)
- Designed electronics panels
- Tested beater-bar
- Fabricated spindle
- Finished 7th Wheel mount
- Finished 7th Wheel drive programming
- Wrote basic operational spec
- Scrapped t-rex claw for Empty Cell idea
Week Six (2/8-2/14)
Beth paints the box, we assemble the box outside in the freezing cold and we ship the robot.
Final Few Build Daze (2/15-2/17)
Beth paints the box, we assemble the box outside in the freezing cold and we ship the robot.
