Copyright Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy all rights reserved Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Does Wheel Size Matter? Starter Kit Investigation Introduction: An Investigation into the effect changing wheel size has on the speed reached in a set distance.

Copyright Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy all rights reserved Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. The Investigation Hypothesis: A larger size wheel will reach a higher speed in a given distance. Variables: –Independent: Wheel size (3 diameters) –Dependent: Distance traveled

Copyright Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy all rights reserved Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Prepare Test Bed Prepare the test bed by taping a start line near the edge. Add a finish line 72 inches away.

Copyright Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy all rights reserved Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Re-Download Firmware (If Necessary) You may have to re-download the RobotC firmware if you have ever downloaded any programs or other firmware to the microcontroller. (If nothing has been downloaded to the microcontroller after downloading the ROBOTC firmware, you may skip this step.) Connect the programming module to both the PC and the microcontroller Make sure the microcontroller is turned on Open ROBOTC. Select Robot/Download Firmware Select VEX VM 0724.hex/Open (or later version of ROBOTC firmware).

Step 4 Record Time Record this distance on a data table of Wheel Size vs. Time and Speed CONDITION (Wheel Size) TIME (seconds) Average Speed (in./sec.) 12345Avg. Time 1 (Small) Diameter= ______ in (Medium) Diameter= ______ in. 3 (Large) Diameter= ______ in.

Copyright Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy all rights reserved Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Step 6 Average Speed Find the average of the trials for the condition and record it on the table. Calculate the average speed of the Condition Example:

Copyright Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy all rights reserved Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Step 7 Medium Wheels Switch to medium sized wheels and repeat the steps #1-6 with the new wheels.

Copyright Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy all rights reserved Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Step 8 Large Wheels Switch to the large wheels and repeat in the same manner as the other sized wheels.

Copyright Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy all rights reserved Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Step 9 Measure Wheel Diameter Find the diameter of each of the wheels in inches. Record the value on the data table.
