Authors By: Mohammar Mairena (Electronics & Control Engineer) Approved By: Jesus Enriquez (Project Manager) Introduction Before one can create a custom printed circuit board (PCB), one has to create a Fritzing diagram. A Fritzing diagram is a virtual electronic circuit that is modeled after a circuit tested on the breadboard. Fritzing is used to provide […]
Authors By: Mohammar Mairena Approved By: Jesus Enriquez Introduction The Velociraptor will compete in a game similar to Pacman. One of the requirements is that the Velociraptor shall attempt to collect as many red dots as possible while navigating the maze utilizing either a static or dynamic walk. As a result, we will be using […]
Authors By: Andrea Lamore (Manufacturing) Approved By: Jesus Enriquez (Project Manager) Introduction Throughout the engineering design process, the SolidWorks model for the Velociraptor went through a series of changes as our team went through trial and error with the different components for the robot. This post includes some of the thinking that went behind the […]
Authors By: Mohammar Mairena, Electronics & Control Engineer Approved by: Jesus Enriquez, Project Manager Introduction The torque needed to move the different parts of the robot are specified by the Design and Manufacturing engineer. By testing the torque required at a specific location of the robot, one can prove the servo chosen will handle the […]
By: Andrea Lamore (Manufacturing) Approved By: Jesus Enriquez (Project Manager) Introduction The range of motion of the leg determines the type of step the robot will take. A static walk requires a different stride from a dynamic walk and it is important to pick the linkages in the leg according to the type of walk […]
