Team Spark-O-matic #13176 Engineering Notebook
Hey, this is Kaden. Today in robotics we worked on our designs and created design ideas for our robot.
Hey this is Anthony, today in robotics we learned how to build a drive train. Hey my name is Aaron, and today in Robotics we learned how to sketch our robot and we was able to do our first group task. Hey my name is Avery, today in robotics class we learned about how to connect parts to a robot. My name is Destini, I'm the artist who's planning on the logo for our T-shirts.

We throw ideas around for the new design of the robot. We looked at this year challenge and what our robot had to do. And this coming, Saturday we'll sketch out our designs for the robot. The experiences was amazing, fun, and lots of planning.
I am Kaden very new to Spark-O-Matics what I want to learn out of robotics is how to build a robot and do cool things with it. Our first competition was amazing.When we got there we thought the judging will be difficult but,it wasn't it was fun.The judges were nice.It was like we already knew them.The competition it-self was fun.We meet a lot of other teams.Overall it was amazing.I think I can say we all can't wait for the next competition. The Spark o Matic team meet up with the Tech no Warriors to finished the robot and start on the programming for the robot.
The Spark-o-Matic team has gotten even closer to finishing our drive train, Once we connect the last chain link the drive train will be completed, we also talked about judging and designing the mechanism to grab the cubes.
Chris Bell, Angel Walton, Emmanuel McDougalWith drive trains, you have to think about speed, traction and maneuverability. You can't put the motor right on the wheel. a. the wheels can be at different heights, b. having the wheels chained is better than having motors run separately. During the game, one wheel can lose traction, but if they're all chained together, the other wheel it's chained to can pull. Why is traction important? So after going over what we learned last week we started to talk about the teams shirts and which logo to put on our teams robot, Binder, and what we would do next. We built a drive train, not the drivetrain, but a drivetrain to experiment.
As teams and individually, we built hubs, The drivetrain frame, and the motor frame. Then we built new bounds with two new members of the Spark-O-Matic robotic team. Lastly we talked about more ideas and future changes to the design of the drivetrain which will be changed next week. With every change in design and new idea we learn and experience the joy of building robots. Michael and Malea came to introduce us to drivetrains, different kinds, etc. Basically, what kind of drivetrain we can build with our kit Asking questions about not connected, connected, sprockets, power versus speed The Spark-O-Matic team learned about drive trains and all of their mechanized varieties, afterwards we showed off and explained our different ideas for our robot, Team 3486 T.W.A hosted a Q&A. |
