1. 2809 K-Botics Pre-season Training Week 2
Still Brought to you by the letter
The Queen’s FIRST Robotics Team

2. Today’s Schedule
Brief Presentation
Game Rules
Mechanical Design
Guided Idea generation
Stick-it Note Design
Group Work
kit of parts in week 3

3. No user input/control after robot starts moving No projectiles
Trench Bot Rules
No user input/control after robot starts moving
No projectiles
No high pressure systems (<50PSI)
No additional force generating components (ie: motors, actuators, etc). Springs are allowed as they do not generate force, they return energy.
No stored energy from material deformation at the start of the run.
No external power source
Thank you to everyone who posted
Remember to post all questions to the facebook wall before Monday Midnight

4. Robot cannot damage the course
Trench Bot Rules
Robot cannot damage the course
Robot must fit within 12”x12”x 6” starting volume
Robot must stay within trench
No biological materials
No flying
No fluids

5. Additional Rules
Course obstruction ≤1” (height)
Parts can be manufactured out of any material but the manufacturing process cannot be computer aided. Ie: No CNC machining or rapid prototyping, but can be machined manually
NOTE: Any discrepancy with the rules will fall to the judges’ ruling.

6. Demonstration Day
November 15th, 2012
8 minute presentation (Design, Key features, etc.)
5 minute demonstration
3-5 Judges
Parents will be invited
There will be food!

7. Mechanical Design
CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate)
is an innovative educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers

8. Machine
A machine is a powered tool consisting of one or more parts that is constructed to achieve a particular goal.
Made Up OF:
System
Sub-system
Component

9. Motion
In physics, motion is a change in position of an object with respect to time. [
Two types of motion
Rotation
Translation (linear motion)

10. Descriptions of motion
Continuous
Sporadic
Oscillatory
Reciprocal
Intermittent

11. Rotational Motion Mechanisms

12. Linear Motion Mechanisms

13. Roller Clutch

14. Next Week
Mechanical
Force/motion transferring (gears, belts, etc.)
Friction reducing devices (bearings, bushings)
Fasteners
Programming

15. Simple by nature, complicated by design -anonymous

16. Things to Remember
