Join the Queen’s FIRST Robotics Team for presentations on game rules, mechanical design, idea generation, and more in preparation for the Trench Bot challenge. Learn about the rules and guidelines, including restrictions and requirements for the upcoming demonstration day. Understand machine components, motion types, and future topics in force and motion transfer. Remember, robotics is fun and full of innovative learning opportunities!

2809 K-BoticsPre-season Training Week 2 Still Brought to you by the letter The Queen’s FIRST Robotics Team
Today’s Schedule • Brief Presentation • Game Rules • Mechanical Design • Guided Idea generation • Stick-it Note Design • Group Work • kit of parts in week 3
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
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
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.
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!
Mechanical Design • CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate) • is an innovative educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers
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
Motion • In physics, motion is a change in position of an object with respect to time. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_(physics)] • Two types of motion • Rotation • Translation (linear motion)
Descriptions of motion • Continuous • Sporadic • Oscillatory • Reciprocal • Intermittent
Next Week • Mechanical • Force/motion transferring (gears, belts, etc.) • Friction reducing devices (bearings, bushings) • Fasteners • Programming
Simple by nature, complicated by design -anonymous
Things to Remember • If you or your parents have any problems/concerns/ comments please contact any of your mentors or email me at mshepertycky@gmail.com • Robotics is FUN!!!
