MECHANICALDESIGN &Blueprints to Success

DESIGN APPROACHUsed the design process to identify design problemsDivided the robot into subsystems in order to solve the various tasks Subsystems created through the use of design matricesFour different subsections: hatch, frame, drive, and entry system.

TECHNICAL

MECHANICALDESIGN &

SUBSYSTEMSHatchUses gravity as a passive action for the hatch plates to fall onto the sides. Takes minimal space FrameThe frame is designed to resist stress and protect the key components within the robotDrive Track system chosen for its ability to handle rough terrainEntry SystemA cutting mechanism that will carve out a hole for our robot to enter the volcano

MECHANICALDESIGN &

DesignInitial design: TracksChanged to Belt DriveMechanicalBelt DrivePendulum Suspension

DRIVE

MECHANICALDESIGN &

FRAMEExtensive Testing was done. Arch Truss shows superiority under 1000 lbs of force.Utilizes a circular frame design for rigidity

MECHANICALDESIGN &

HATCHUtilizes a Pin-Release MechanismPin is released from the base of the hatch structureFalls to the left and right side of the robot due to gravityHatch fits the front of the new frame No issue with its consistency

MECHANICALDESIGN &

ENTRY

Consistently makes accurate circlesSpring attached to the back of the cutterThe blade pushed forward in the proper position Ensure the cut of an accurate circle

MECHANICALDESIGN &

VECHICLEHave data uploaded to itEscape from volcano intactLand and transfer data to HQStarted with a quadcopter for power and stabilityCurrent design is a tricopter for small size

ESCAPE

MECHANICALDESIGN &

MATERIALAluminum 6061 for the main structure of the robotABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) Plastic - temporary material for the prototypes wirebox, will be replaced by aluminum Abandoned Carbon Fiber for realistic budget and manufacturability

MANUFACTURINGCut-by-cut to the final product"

BANDSAWAdvantagesDisadvantages

Machines stock to specific sizesEssential machining tool to creating many partsNot very accurateLimited to certain materials

MANUFACTURING

CNC MILLAdvantagesDisadvantages

Uses x, y, z, and fourth dimension rotational axisImprove tabs usage with MasterCamStructural integrity weakenedmachining multiple parts from single stock

MANUFACTURING

CNC LATHEAdvantagesDisadvantages

Uses 2 axesCuts cylindrical parts (roadwheels)Very accurate and versatileLimited to 2 axes

MANUFACTURING

DRILL PRESSAdvantagesDisadvantages

Used to machine holesCreates small holes that are usually inconvenient with other toolsLess efficient than the CNC mill

MANUFACTURING

LASER CUTTERAdvantagesDisadvantages

Build prototypes, frame supports, etc.Limited to cutting only acrylic
