Design Practice: Stronghold Robot

grabcad

Just wanted to share a project I've been working on for the past month or so to prepare myself for the upcoming season.I took elements from my favorite robots of 2016 and reverse engineered them using photos I could find, then re-designed them using methods my team can use(e.g. no welding, certain screw sizes and suppliers etc.).From those re-designed mechanisms, I've designed a full robot, ready to play the 2016 game, FIRST Stronghold.I've learned a lot from this project, and I feel it's gotten me to a level where I feel comfortable designing almost anything.Mechanisms used:-971 Shooter+Hanger-254 Intake-My own design of a 8X8 WCD-Generic hot-swappable PC Trianlges for defenses(This does not include any sensors, cameras, a belly pan, screws or electronics because these are very boring and technical stuff and I got bored midway through)
