Unit 03: Building and Design

Objectives:

In this unit you will work with the GoBilda system and build a Strafer Chassis. This robot will be used for electronics practice, programming exercises in Java, and Roadrunner Navigation exercises. After the FTC Game is released, we will modify the robot design to meet the engineering requirements for the game.

Concepts and Vocabulary:

• Robot construction requirements: Simple, Symmetrical, Strong, Standardized

• Robot Subsystems: Drivetrain/Chassis, Actuator, Intakes, Graspers, Control, and Power

• Building Materials: C Channels, Flats, Brackets, Gears

• Bolts and Nuts: Sizes and Tools

• Wheel Types: Mecanum

• Motor Types: YellowJacket DC Motor

• Servos: Standard and Continuous Rotation

Skills and Product:

• Students will build from plans Chassis and DriveTrain

• Students will build from Plans Arms, Graspers, and Intakes

• Students will document building process through pictures at each step
