Task Description
A new battery mount needs to be design for our 2023 rover
The battery for the rover is a large 44.4V LiPo battery contained in a fireproof LiPo bag. The battery contained within this bag should be mounted on the rover.
- Image RemovedImage Added
The battery was originally planned to mount underneath the ebox, to minimize the CG and roughly balance out the heavy mass of the arm with a rear weight, although this decision may need to be revisited. (Note, include picture of rough mounting position)
A mount should be designed to satisfy the following criteria:
Securely contains battery and LiPo bag
Mounts to existing rover chassis
Minimizes moments on differential bar; keeps total CG of rover as close to the floor as possible
Protects battery from being hit or impacted by any environmental stimuli
Task Breakdown
- Select mounting location on chassis
- Create design ideas for a mount that will protect and secure battery/bag to chassis
- Review design ideas and select a design
- Create drawings for custom parts, plan manufacturing processes
- Source and purchase all required materials
- Manufacture and assemble design
Prerequisites
This task has no prerequisites. Both the battery and LiPo bag are currently stored within the bay.
