Our team has divided the Rover into six main systems. Each system focuses on accomplishing one aspect of the mission. This section illustrates the functionality of each subsystem; during the actual mission, the multiple systems need to interact to complete the mission objective.
Drivetrain
The current drivetrain system is almost reach it’s end of it’s design cycle. The only thing left is to cleanup the current system to create a better fundation interacting with the rest of the system, since drivetrain is considerably the most critical system in the whole rover. The figure illustrate a render for the current drivetrain system.

The Drivetrain system are designed with the following requirement:
Rocker Bogie system to traverse through rough terrian
Minimum drivetrain ground clearance 1 meter
Max drivetrain system weight less than 20kg (ebox included)
Custom airless tire with enough grip on dirt and sand
Ability to climb a curve within 15 degree elevation
Able to overcome obstcales with height within 20 cm
Independent control on each wheels
Arcade controller for easier operator control
Input interface to interact with command based operation
Arm
The mechanical design of the arm project is completed. However this project is currently undergoing validation and testing to study the performance the system before enter the full manufacturing stage.
