I shall be free to help during the CAD classes...

But within two classes or so, your knowledge will be equal to or surpass mine.

Lol, this is where we ordered our magnets.

We will have to use two magnets, and they will have to be approximately the distance away from the pole as I have them currently protruded. These are the magnets we ordered: http://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=RX033CS-S This is the force curve, with distance from steel on the x-axis and p...

Minibot v2 CAD

Pink - Magnets

Current minibot CAD

Fred, we took the material off today and the minibot still works fine

Guys, we will not be able to get by with the unobtanium.

Consider gluing anti-slip mat onto the wheels.

Check the attachment. We can use "rubber bands" and "surgical tubing" but no rubber tubing.

Autonomous steps: 1. Extend pistons while moving forward. 2. Zero lift encoder by having the manipulator hit the limit switch. 3. Go forward X amount of feet (using encoder values) so that it stops before the pegs 4. Extend lift so that it reaches the top level 5. Go forward Y amount of feet so that...

Look at their minibot.

The gearboxes are gone and they're using some really small (3/8in maybe) shafts with some kind of friction coating to drive up the pole.

Yes; there's really nothing else to do right now for the programming team. Feel free to use the Chimi for parts. Doesn't people find it strange that v1 is almost complete? I mean, for most teams, isn't the robot completed right before the deadline? I'm on a horse. Paul, we are always at least two s...
