OUR ROBOT
Drive Train
-
Used to move the robot, as a base for the other functions, and climb the platforms
-
Our drivetrain consists of:
-
4 Motor Drive
-
Motors are placed on the four corner wheels. Middle wheels receive power through sprockets and chain that connect the wheels’ axles
-
Outer Roller
-
Our roller consists of:
-
2 big sprockets
-
Rubber Bands
-
Standoffs
-
Axel

The roller is there to maximize the range that the driver has to get a ball anywhere on the field
Inner Roller
-
Our roller consists of:
-
2 big sprockets
-
Rubber Bands
-
Standoffs

The smaller roller is there to get the ball through the robot faster and more efficiently

Used to transfer balls from roller to flywheel
-
Our elevator consists of:
-
Gears

Flywheel
-
We used a 2 motor flywheel (a high speed rotating wheel)
-
Our flywheel consists of:

Multiple high strength Gears
-
Spacers
-
Pinions
-
Axel
-
2 High speed motors (Each Revs up to 200 RPM)

The flywheel was lighter, more efficient, more stable, and took up less space than the other shooting mechanisms we tested.
