Day 19 & 20: CAD, Arm Linkages, & Frame Building
For the most part we have been focusing on getting our CAD models complete over the past couple days. We're still working on our end effector but the majority of…

We cleaned up our electrical wiring on the practice robot. This will make it easier to keep things safe and organized. We also started cutting and drilling our support bars…
Short post today. We got the complete prototype drive train working. Please note the pneumatic is just for the real robot will be much smaller. That's just what we had…
Lots of progress on the practice robot (robot 1) today. The electronics were mounted and wheels were chained together. We never actually got to put it on carpet and drive…
We had a busy day of CAD and routing parts. Today was the first real day of riveting as well. We've been making a ton of gussets on the Zenbot…
We really started getting into the construction of our versaframe based chassis today. Many of the parts we are 3D printing or CNC routing for the prototype to make sure…
Our VEXpro order came in today that included our drive gearboxes, and some other parts of our chassis. We also started using our new router more to help with the…
As part of our move to our new lab, we got a CNC router and new 3D printer. Today we had them hard at work. We setup the router to…
We fixed a few things with the prototype robot, but most of the day was spent CADing. We also have our 3D printer making very accurate parts out of polycarbonate…
We're into Week 2 and we have started finalizing our designs. We tested out an option to lower only a single wheel to allow us to strafe and it looks…
