Drone Launcher

New Location for the Drone Launcher

During this class period, we worked on getting the 3D printed worm gear on our robot, a few issues we faced included, the hex shape on the gears being too small or too big so we would have to hammer them into the shafts. once we got them on there we realized that the print on the regular gear teeth did not align with the worm gear, there was too much space in between them. This caused them to slip often, and since they are plastic, once they slipped we would have to replace everything because the teeth on both the regular and worm gear were just too worm out. We also had to add the short metal piece on the outside so that it would hold up the shaft, bringing the teeth closer. We added the drone launcher on the inside to protect it from other robots' bumping into ours.


New Location for the Drone Launcher

We ran out of room on the robot, so we had to move the drone launcher on the outside of the robot.
