  2. Team 2051 January 14, 2010 Preliminary Design Review

  3. Game Strategy • Offensive Zone • Middle Zone • Defensive Zone • End Game

  4. Kicking Mechanism • Snow blower • Pneumatic Pinball

  5. Drive System • Omni Wheel • Killough or Holonomic 45° angle • Square Set-up • 6 wheels • Swerve or Crab Drive • Parts not available for 2 weeks

  6. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax_dtCUUKVU http://techtv.mit.edu/videos/905-first-team-97---week-4-driving http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03c3YuflQl4

  7. 4 Standard Wheels • Pros: • Simpler than 6 wheel • Lighter than 6 wheels • Cheaper than 6 wheels • All weight supported by drive wheels • Resistant to being pushed • Cons • Turning! (keep wheel base short) • Can high center during climbs • Bigger wheels = higher COG

  8. 4 Wheels With Omni Wheels • Pros: • Same as basic four wheel • Turns like a dream but not around the robot center • Cons: • Vulnerable to being pushed on the side • Traction may not be as high as 4 standard wheels • Can still high center = bigger wheels

  9. 6 Wheels • Pros: • Great traction under most circumstances • Smaller wheels • Smaller sprockets = weight savings • Turns around robot center • Can’t be easily high centered • Resistant to being pushed • Cons: • Weight • More complex chain paths • Chain tensioning can be fun • More expensive Note: Center wheel often lowered about 3/16”

  10. Xbot’s Six Wheel Variants

  11. Mecanum • Pros: • Highly maneuverable • Might reduce complexity elsewhere in robot • Simple Chain Paths (or no chain) • Redundancy • Turns around robot center • Cons: • Lower traction • Can high center • Not great for climbing or pushing • Software complexity • Drift dependant on weight distribution • Shifting transmissions impractical • Autonomous challenging • More driver practice necessary • Expensive

  12. Holonomic Drive 2047’s 2007 Robot

  13. Treads • Pros: • Great traction • Turns around robot center • Super at climbing • Resistant to being pushed • Looks awesome! • Cons • Not as energy efficient • High mechanical complexity • Difficult for student-built teams to make • Needs a machine shop or buy them • Turns can tear the tread off and/or stall motors 997

  14. Swerve/Crab Wheels steer independently or as a set More traction than Mecanum Mechanically Complex! Adds weight Don’t try this at home!

  15. End Game • 25” x 35” x 4” space available for climbing or hanging mechanisms
