Materials:
Aluminum Bars
- U-Beams
- Angular Bars
- 2 ft x 2 ft (driving base framework)
Hinges
- This wheel was attached to the wiper motor (rear)
- Used to fasten the flaps in the acrylic glas
- Used as ornamentation for the robot
- Omni SRB-6V4
- 6 Volts Rechargeable
- Used to power the Robot’s controller
- Fuli FL1270
- Rechargeable VRLA Battery
- 12 Volts
- Used to power the wiper motors (provides power for the robot’s locomotion)
- Tormax Maxon 457
- 24 Volts Heavy duty, high torque motor with gearhead
- Used as a motor for the robot’s kicking mechanism
- Used to combine the aluminum bars of the robot’s driving base
- Used in the robot’s circuits, LED lights, voltage regulators, Arduino board and in the controller
- Use to provide joystick connections
- Provides the connections (power source>motor, joystick>board, etc.) in the robot
- Stores and executes the programs on both the controller and the robot
- Provides wireless communication between the robot and the controller
Controller
- Logitech Attack 3 Controller
- Connected to a Bluetooth shield, it works as a wireless controller for the controller
- It helps the motor to interact with the motors for it to be programmable
Drill
- Black and Decker
- Used to punch holes through the aluminum bars
- Used in making circuit boards
- Used to smoothen the rough edges of a newly cut aluminum beam
- An essential tool for turning screws to be able to connect aluminum bars and others
- Another essential tool that can be used as an alternative clamp or for turning tight screws that can’t be turned with a screwdriver
- Used particularly in mounting the wheel into the wiper motor
- Used for cutting acrylic glasses (that we equipped the robot with) and aluminum bars
- Used in checking voltage, electric currents, continuity in the circuit boards, power sources and in the motors
