For this project you will be designing FTC Robot Alliance markers for this year's game, Power Play.
The following rules define this challenge (From Game Manual 1)
Alliance Marker – Robots must include a Team supplied, Alliance specific marker on two opposite sides of the Robot to easily identify which Alliance a Robot is assigned to. The Alliance marker must be displayed on the same side of the Robot as the Team number, within a 3-inch (7.62 cm) distance of the number.
The red Alliance marker must be a solid red square, 2.5 inches x 2.5 inches (6.35 cm x 6.35 cm) +/- 0.25 inches (0.64 cm).
The blue Alliance marker must be a solid blue circle, 2.5 inches (6.35 cm) +/- 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) in diameter.
The Alliance marker must be visible to the referees during a Match and must indicate the Alliance color for the Match.
The Alliance marker must be robust enough to withstand the rigors of Match play. Example robust materials include:
Alliance marker template printed and laminated;
painted or gaff tape covered polycarbonate sheet, wood panel, metal plate, etc. e. It is highly recommended that the Team add their Team number anywhere to their Alliance marker. This allows field personnel the ability to return Alliance markers that might be left on the Playing Field.
Additionally, good Alliance Markers should be designed to be swapped quickly and easily.
You may use:
3D Printed plastic
Laser cut acrylic (5.5 mm)
Laser cut wood (6.35mm)
Various lengths of m3 bolts and nuts.
Various lengths of 1/4-20 bolts and nuts.
Any other materials if cleared with your teacher.
Your alliance marker should be designed to mount to a Studica U-Channel using standard m3 bolts.
One design critique will be required for this project with iterations to follow.
Your Alliance Markers must be presented as a booklet of drawings (in pdf form) for your final submission but may bee shown as a 3d model as well duing your critique.
