Instead of 5 billiard balls ONLY ONE will be placed in the starting platform.
Teams have to find and move only one randomly placed billiard ball and
transport and deliver it to the collection bin and return to the platform (1
roundtrip).
With only one single ball to be transported, the dimensions of the starting
platform might not be increased from the current 24 x 24 inches (final
dimensions will be announced by the next lecture).
Water jet use has to be OKd by the TAs or Instructors. In addition $2.50 per
minute will be charged for water jet usage.
If a transporter can achieve automated start/stop, without using the on/off switch
more than once during the entire trial, the total number of balls delivered will be
adjusted up by 15%.

Meet at least two times between now and next Friday and establish
team structure
At this stage you are developing the mechanical portion of your project (the
control and feedback will come later)
Therefore, assume your device has found the ball and you are only
concerned with designing a product that will deliver the ball to the drop-off bin.
Also, do not be concerned about how you will find the entrance to the ramp.
change directions,
initiate the move up the ramp,
turns the ramp corners (mechanical aspect only),
stops in the unloading platform, and
releases the ball into the bin.

When designing your transporter the location of the center of gravity of
your system has to be established for the Preliminary Design Report):
use SolidWorks to establish the coordinates of the center of gravity of your
device assign correct materials and include the cargo

The lowest required minimum coeff. of friction is for AWD (which would require the
smallest tractive force (FT) to drive the vehicle up the slope). However the
additional weight, complexity, and cost of an AWD system has to be considered.

You can now try different materials and see if they will provide the
necessary coefficient of friction
You can approximate the overall dimension and coordinates of the
center of gravity
And you can now estimated the required total power/torque necessary
to deliver the load
And therefore you can start looking at motors, and decide how many
motors you should use.

You can now refine your conceptual design based on the following
mechanical engineering fundamentals:
1. Estimate the minimum coefficient of friction (m) required to climb the
plywood ramp
2. Establish candidate wheel materials provide the necessary m
3. Establish the overall dimension of your device and coordinates of the
center of gravity (L, LC, h)
4. Estimate the required power/torque necessary to deliver the load
5. Research motors, and decide what motor and/or how many you
should use including gearing requirements (use plot torque-speed
curves to estimate maximum torque and RPMs)
6. Approximate battery power consumption (more on this next lecture)
