The following tutorial outlines how to create a CAD assembly of a modified Straffer Chassis. In this case, the Chassis is modified so that the final bot dimensions are approximately 16"x16" so as to be well within the max size of the robot. (max size is 18"x18") The design is based off of the Version 4 Straffer chassis. https://www.gobilda.com/content/user_manuals/3209-0001-0004-v4.1-assembly-instructions.pdf
The following link will provise a folder with all of the parts required to build the Strafer Chassis.
Document your work in your engineering notebook:
Follow along with the video tutorial to lean how to download all of the CAD files needed to build the CRA
These tutorials demonstates how to CAD the main Chassis
Import the first set of parts into a sub assembly of the chassis. use the Joint Tool to connect the fram and build your sturcture.
Add Screws to the frame to tie it all together. In some cases this can be extra work if you need to modify the layout, but it can also be helpful to identify interference zones.
In this section we will cad the output shaft for the wheel. This will be a sub assembly that is used four times in the full assembly. The tutorials cover updating the thrust bearing model first then assembling the output shaft.
Create Revolute Joints and Ridged Groups within the assembly then add color to the carriage.
Combine the axle, bearings and gears to create the output shaft sub assembly.
set the appearance for the parts on the motor while creating a ridged group with a revolute output shaft.
Assemble the motor, thrust bearings and miter gear.
Create a single piece mechanum assembly with appearance of the goBilda Wheels.
Create a Right and Left Mechanum wheel and hub sub assembly.
Assemble the full drive system with each of the sub assemblies.
Learn to modify joints and layout using the "Edit in Place" Function along with the timeline.
Change the Miter gear Color and see how the update propigates into all of the designs (Assemblies and Sub Assemblies) and can be updated throughout each with a single click!
