Hope Chambers

Team Position: Team Captain, Builder and Programmer School and Grade: Homeschooled 10th Grade Skills: Programming, Building, and Notebook Hobbies: Playing Violin and Piano and going hiking. Favorite Subject: Any kind of math College Goals: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Why did you join robotics? I joined because I am interested in a career in robotics and wanted to get a little taste

  • f the field before I went to school for it. This is my second year

and I defiantly know that robotics would be my dream job.

Design Brief

Client: Instructor(Trecia Karinshak) Target Consumer: VEX Robotics Team 2435B Designer: VEX Robotics Team 2435B Problem Statement: We were challenged to design a robot that can effectively launch stars and cubes to the enemy alliance side efficiently and hang on the hanging bar Design Statement: After brainstorming for the best solution, we would build and test the robot to make sure it met are design specifications Criteria and Constraints: Our robot had to fit within the 18’’ by 18’’ by 18’’ dimensions, was limited to only 12 motors, could only use VEX certified parts, and had a time constraint of two months Conclusion: We decided to go for a Dump Truck/Launcher which sends/throws stars and cubes over the fence

Generate Concepts

  • Individually brainstormed robot designs and subsystems

and collectively chose a final design

  • Brainstormed criteria for ideal robot attributes and characteristics
  • Created and implemented a Decision Matrix which helped determine a

solution path Soldiers of Technology 2435B

Construct and Test Prototype

  • Constructed three chassis and decided with the
  • verall best chassis
  • Created two subsystems and later redesigned first subsystem
  • Collected and Analyzed information and data from competitions to redesign
  • ur robot

Construct and Test Prototype

Chassis 1 Chassis 1 was our first P prototype chassis. This chassis was completely made out of steel and had a high speed gear train with high speed motors. We used this to practice driving and later on transformed it into a push bot. Soldiers of Technology 2435B

SLIDE 28

Construct and Test Prototype

Chassis 2 Chassis 2 was our second and current chassis. This chassis held the pitchfork subsystem before we replaced the claw subsystem. It has a torque gear train with turbo motors to provide the perfect combination of both speed and power. Soldiers of Technology 2435B

Construct and Test Prototype

Dump Truck with Pitchfork This was the first fully designed robot we had made by the combination of Chassis 1 and

  • ur Pitchfork subsystem.

However, we later changed this for a different subsystem that would allow us to do much more. Soldiers of Technology 2435B

Construct and Test Prototype

Dump Truck with Claw This was our chassis 2 combined with our current Claw subsystem. This new subsystem allowed us to transport multiple stars and cubes across the field now. Soldiers of Technology 2435B

Evaluate Solution

After each competition, we …

  • Evaluated our solution’s capability
  • Made proposals for design advancement
  • Redesigned our solution
  • Made project recommendations

Practice Scrimmage

In November we hosted a scrimmage with 9 teams. After every match our mentors and other team coaches gave advice on how to improve each teams game and what they might want to try for future matches.

Girls In Engineering

During the school year we hosted a woman in engineering where any middle school girl interested could come for a day and brain storm and design a Vex IQ robot for the 2016-17 competition.

Teachers Day

October 27th Hope Chambers went with the REC Foundation Regional Representative to promote the Vex IQ and Vex high school to math teachers and PLTW staff.

slide-56
SLIDE 56

Teachers PLTW launch

The Great Plains Technology Center hosted a Teachers Day where we talked about robotics and different ways to teach hands on engineering with the supplies they have at school. So hopefully these elementary school teachers will introduce robotics and engineering to spark kids interest at a younger age.
