Kilroy VI
This year the robot showed simplicity at its best. It did nothing comlex. But the simplicity of it made it easy to work on and hardly failed.
Robot Functions
- Travels w/ a modified skid steer drive. The drive wheels are in the center of the robot. There are 2 HDPE wheels at the front and the back of the robot that are mostly for balance. In the pragramming of the controls we have made 3 electronic "gears" that only control the speed of the robot not the torque
- To manipulate the tetras the robot uses a forklift just recently equiped w/ a locking mechanism. The forklift folds back using pneumatic cylinders and through a second stage of cylinders can tilt outward. The lift can raise high enough to cap 3 tetras in the center goal.
- this section is subject to change in the near future
Robot Strategy
This robot picked up tetras off the floor and caped the different pyramidal goals, did a mighty fine job of it too strong drive train allowed some high speed and low speed duals between robots
Pre-build
stuff like getting sponsors and projects that got incorporated into this year's robot.
Build
build season was good, really good, a fully welded tube aluminum frame allowed for great structural strength, and a sweet pneumatically adjustable chain driven forklift gave it a super awesome ability to quickly and easily pick up and place tetras
