IMG_6304 2_edited.jpg

Role:

Design, Fabrication, FEA, Mass Optimization Calculations

Timeline:

5 weeks

Tools:

Fusion360, 3D Printer, Mill 

Challenge:

Create a mass-optimized mechanical system that rotates a 1 meter pole with a 3 kg"fish" 45° as fast as possible.

Process:

1. Determine goal

2. Select motor operating point 

3.  Generate concept sketches

4.  Design chassis based on             FBDs and loading cases

5. Use stress, bending and              buckling equations to                  optimize chassis for mass            efficiency

6. CAD mechanical system

7. Fabricate mechanical system

8. Test

9. Repeat steps 4-8 to make the best robot possible
