Task: Design and update the Bigwheel Model

We are updating our bigwheel model to represent our current robot. We had a model of just the chassis from the chassis study, so we are currently adding all of the changes we made throughout the season.

Completed Changes

  • Added current intake
  • Added sorting system
  • Modeled the linear slide lift
  • Modeled superman arm

    • Future Changes

    The lift has been changed recently so the model needs to be updated. The main problem with this is that the new slides are not standard parts, so there are no accurate CAD files. This means we have to custom model our new slides to maintain accuracy with our model. The motor placement on the chassis needs to be fixed because we the measurements were estimates. There are many small 3d printed parts that need to be added to the robot, as well as our new ratchet latch.

    Next Steps

    We need to work on future changes and get our model up to date with our robot so we can start conceptualizing new subsystems.
