Soccer Robot

Soccer Robot

Ask

  1. Project Challenge

    We were asked to design a robot in Autodesk Fusion which would utilize our Prizim and Teleop modules, along with arduino code to create soccer robots.

Research

  1. Design Research

    Now even before hand, I had been using these robots to show to elementary school kids and there was one our teacher made. It utilized ackermann steering and a better gear ratio so we made our design based off of that one.

Create

  1. Construction Process

    Now, I didn't have to 3d model the robot as that was my teammate's job, instead I made a better drivetrain, worked on the body, and coded the robot.

Evaluate/Reflection

  1. Project Evaluation

    Our design did terribly actually, Our large gear which was connected to our driving wheels kept getting loose. On top of that, when that didn't give problems, our wheels would come loose. Due to this we scored zero goals throughout the entire tournament.

  2. Reflection

    Things we could fix though could be replacing the axle hubs on the wheels and axles. We also could increase the gear size of the turning gears so that the turning isn't so fast. Lastly also adding some way to hold the ball since we were never able to maintain hold.
