We have optimized our team structure over time; this is our understanding of a better team structure. All the leads have worked closely for at least the last two months and can support the team in meeting the URC 2025 deadline.

5/16” Allen(hex) head end effector module
Small end effector module that can type keyboard
normal End effector and end to operate the joystick
Special motion for turning the knob
Special motion to insert USB and reverse the polarity if needed

The current drivetrain system is has almost reach it’s reached the end of it’s its design cycle. The only thing left is to cleanup clean up the current system to create a better fundation foundation interacting with the rest of the system , since the drivetrain is considerably the most critical system in the whole rover. The figure illustrate illustrates a render for of the current drivetrain system.

The full design of the science module will wait until F24, when the competition guideline is released , since science missions change the most every year. But a lesson learned from the past is that rapid prototyping and iterating over is the best way to develop the science module and usually helps the team accomplish the most objectives and score the highest. The team also has the past design and prototype of the science module.

Autonomy is a complete system itself but requires the communicate communication with the drivetrain system actually to control the rover. Note: The drivetrain control is abstracted away from the autonomy system and only exposes certain APIs for motion control.

Able to reach beyond the line of sight for a 1 km
Support enough bandwidth for live video feed
Switch over to a backup link in cases of main link failure
Reliable gimbal system and relay the video feed directly back to the ground station
Radio links need to be available for at least rover three orientations:
Two sides facing the ground station
the back side facing the ground station
