Robotic Olympic

INRTSUCTION

For our third challenge, we are going to create a robot that can perform as best it can in three out of six different events.

Each event gives your robot points. You may compete in as many events as you like, but you must compete in at least 3 events.

Event Points Breakdown:

1st Place in Class: 4 points

2nd Place in Class: 3 points

3rd Place in Class: 2 points

Any other score: 1 point

Events:

1) The 5m Dash: Your robot must move as fast as possible over 5m.

2) The Shot-Put: Your robot must throw a VEX ball as far as possible.

3) The Accurate: Your robot must throw a VEX ball and get as close as it can to the target, which will be 150cm away from the throwing distance.

4) Weight Lifting: Your robot must lift 1kg. Points are given for lifting it at least 10cm vertically. The robot that lifts the weight the highest vertically will determine the highest place.

5) Obstacle Course: Your robot must navigate an obstacle course as fast as possible. Points are doubled if this event is done autonomously.

6) Grab and Move: Your robot must grab one of the VEX mobile goals and move it 3m away to another spot.

The robot will start 1m away from the mobile goal.

Points are doubled if this event is done autonomously.

Finals Robot picture

We built a robot using 4 motors. Two of the motors were used for driving the wheels, which helped the robot move forward, backward, and turn. These motors were placed on each side of the robot and were connected directly to the wheels.

The third motor was used for lifting. We attached it to an arm mechanism so it could lift objects off the ground. The motor provided enough power to raise and lower the arm smoothly.

The fourth motor was used for throwing. It was connected to a spinning or launching mechanism that could shoot or toss small objects. We made sure it was fast and strong enough to throw things at a distance.

We designed the robot to be compact and stable so it could move easily and perform its tasks without tipping over. We also tested and adjusted the gear ratios to balance speed and power for each motor depending on its job.
