Assignment #2

STRATEGIES

Problem Statement

Robotics is an increasing factor in modern day automation. As the cost of hardware decreases, providing long term benefits over its opposing counterparts, technology continues to replace tedious tasks once operated by humans, doing so more efficiently with less percent error. For example, Amazon has thousands of robots that work within their warehouse to organize their products for distribution. What is interesting about these robots is that they can move heavy pallets and pivot with immense control. But what if they didn’t have to pivot at all?

For this assignment, I will be designing a multi-directional (agile) part that will enhance the wheel’s degree of motion. Build dimensions are not limited to a certain criterion, however, part dimensions and portions must be logical. Object must be designed to enable a vehicle to maneuver vertically, horizontally, and diagonally to be considered agile. Object must be agile.

Assumptions

For this project, we can assume that any material and machine process may be utilized for creative purpose of the assignment. Concepts are under the impression that a 12v DC motor is integrated.

Lessons Learned

For this assignment, I learned about the grid system. Grid is a web development format integrated in a lot of HTML/CSS frameworks. This format lets me separate parts of my page into different blocks so that they’re evenly spaced. I am using Bootstrap’s library which provides various components for me to alter and use, allowing me to focus on the visuals for this webpage.

Colby, Garrett
You have an interesting concept and good schematics. The website flows well; each topic is clearly visible and easy to find. As for your problem statement, I recommend that you elaborate more on what/who you are solving for.
Hanna, Nicholas I really like how your project is based on your passion, and something that you are/have been working on. Your strategies have good variation and well-drawn out schematics. Gantt chart is explicit and well thought out. Could elaborate more on how strategy 3 stands out “For the Engineer”. Other than that, great content.
