Relocating Powerpack C

Relocating Powerpack C

1. 2. Gripping Payload

   • Forklift design
   • Grip similar to tongs
     • Either a 2 or 4 sided gripper
     • Rubber to maximise friction
   • Forklift style with tong gripping on the side

2. 3. Transporting/Rotating Payload

   • Rotate before picking up payload
   • Position Robot at 90° angle to ensure arrow is facing end of bunker
   • Rotate lifting mechanism 90° with servo
   • Motor choice to ensure smooth driving. Stepper motors allow the option of acceleration through external Arduino libraries
   • Rotate payload during the transportation process
   • High control over Arduino code to ensure exact speed/course can be set

3. 1. Reaching Payload

   • Scissor lift design
   • Telescopic pole design
   • Counterbalanced to maximise stability
   • Minimise structural weight of extendable arm
     • Acrylic, Timber, Alloy
   • Motor Control to minimise risk of dropping load

4. 4. Depositing Payload

   • Coin pusher type design
   • Claws extend into 10mm gap on either side of bunker to place payload
   • Tong grips drop payload - balls could spill
   • Ensure payload remains horizontal and no edges catch on side of bunker
   • Extending arms/climbing terrace
     • Climbing terrace could make motor slip meaning it would veer off course
     • If arms were extended instead of climbing care would need to be taken to ensure it doesn't overbalance
     • Ramp could be dropped to climb terrace more effectively
   • Gentle Depositing of payload - Not dropped
