This week we worked on two things at the same time: Main Bot: We have now decided to use a Raspberry Pi after all, after coming to the conclusion that a Teensy does not provide enough computing power. At the moment we are working on implementing pathplanning with PID tuning. … Weiterlesen …
As we needed to replicate at least some parts of the arena to test our strategy accurately, we replicated the so called high rises, which are pedestals fixated to the ground. Cutting out the exact right cardboard size for the boxes was a bigger challenge than expected. In the end, … Weiterlesen …
After definitely deciding on Tensegrity as our main idea and giving our tower the truly glorious working title „Defying Gravity“, we wanted to come up with a concept that we could implement with this fascinating structural principle. We decided to try to learn from the greats and look up a … Weiterlesen …
As Eurobot season kicks off once again, we’re excited to share the first update on our progress this year! First of all, we want to share our plans this year with you: We plan on using a similar hardware design like last years, but plan on switching to a Teensy … Weiterlesen …
As our first challenge this year, we have chosen the movement challenge. With the deadline rapidly approaching, we’re already working hard on fulfilling the essential requirements. This week, we set up the very first circuit. This will enable the wheels that we attached last week to move. So you can … Weiterlesen …
As mentioned in our previous post, we’ve adjusted the design according to the feedback that we got from our peers. We didn’t account for possible inaccuracies occurring in the robot’s movement in the first design. Thus, we made the opening in the front wider in this second version so that … Weiterlesen …
These wheels attached to this frame lay the groundwork for our whole bot and enable us to tackle the movement challenge! Some work still lies ahead of us till we can accomplish the challenge, but it’s an important first step in the right direction. Adjustments must still be made as … Weiterlesen …
After brainstorming a bunch of ideas, we decided on our very first design for this project, which you can also see below. After getting some feedback from our peers, we’ll rework this prototype to be even better than it is right now. But seeing this first version makes us look … Weiterlesen …
Since the only limit for this project is our imagination (and of course the rules and regulations), we came up with our first idea fairly quickly. Plan A was to build an accurate upscaled recreation of the DNA double-helix as a tower. But as we continued to ponder alternative approaches, … Weiterlesen …
This year, we’ll have the opportunity to build a tower at least 70cm tall! The biggest challenge will be that we have a very limited list of allowed materials and that the construction will be able to withstand the multiple stability tests, the transportation of the model being one of … Weiterlesen …
