Constraint Validation

...

Listed below are key metrics that must be measured to ensure our design means competition requirements. This data may help with improving designs, but mainly is intended to verify constraint conformity. These tests will require no support from software, firmware or electrical.

titleBattery Pack (P/N TBD)

To be revised when proper battery pack is selected. In mean time, measure, weigh, photograph and document whatever battery solution is installed on rover

titleFull Drivetrain Assembly

Measure and weigh a fully functional drivetrain (no gimbal, all components described above installed, wired and functional)

titleDimension Profiling

The overall dimensions of the drivetrain should be recorded.

Competition Constraint: Drivetrain must fit in a 1.2m cube

title1m Drop Test

THIS IS A DESTRUCTIVE TEST, AND SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED AFTER ALL OTHER TESTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. PLEASE CONTACT Austin Tailon Huang IF YOU WANT TO RUN THIS TEST

Test Details

  • Fully assemble a functional drivetrain (drivetrain, EMPTY ebox, wheel assemblies, battery pack, no gimbal)

  • Drop assembly from 1m height

  • Observe any mechanical failures, failed wire connections, broken components, etc.

  • Determine if drivetrain prototype is capable of being controlled at the same efficacy before and after drop

  • Take video footage of drop with slo motion camera (phone camera is probably OK, just frame the video from multiple angles)
