Guiding a Student Team Through the Process of Developing a Robot for the ATMAE Student Competition Synthesizing managerial and technical knowledge and skills:
Objectives for the project Review of the develop process Concepts and tools overview
Develop a robot that can compete • Limited timeline • Limited experience • Stringent requirements • Small budget • Teach advanced concepts through application • Emergent objectives • Continuity for future years • Groundwork for continuous improvement objectives
Basic requirements: December 2009 • Complete requirements: February 2010 • Remotely-operated navigation from base to target area • Autonomous operation within target area: Find and retrieve a partially-submerged cylinder • Return cylinder to base • Constraints • Deadline = competition date • Budget = $1,500 from CWU + out of pocket • Limits of team expertise Requirements and constraints
Passive defenses • Heavy & Low CG • Rigid structure • Use a drive-over strategy and a large capture bay (reduces required level of precision) • Ease of service & transport System Design Principles
One successful iteration of task • Increase reliability via simplicity • Minimize parts • Minimize motions • Less sophisticated electronics • Less sophisticated programming Detail Design Principles
