Paul Gelhaus David Carratu Chris Reik Mateo Gauman Gap Crossing Robot Documentation When we were first given the task of creating a table-gap crossing robot, we first brainstormed as a team several possible solutions to this challenge. After thinking about several robot designs we decided that the best design would be to create a […]
Project: Our task was to build a robot that could cross a gap between two tables without any human effort. We had to make the robot and develop the code in class with a certain time constraint. Structure: Our idea for this project was to use rotating tires on either side of the […]
For our project, we decided to do something risky but creative to tackle the issue of crossing the gap. Considering the 45 minute time constraint, we still were able to cross the EV3 a maximum of 13 inches across. We achieved this by basically mounting an EV3 and a motor with a tire on top […]
For our project, we made a long car and placed the EV3 brick in the middle. There is one large motor controlling the front two wheels and another large motor controlling the back two wheels. The two motors are facing opposite direction from each other. The two axels are attached by two stick-like structures that […]
For this project we created a robot that could cross a 6 inch gap without any human help. This was done under a 45 minute time constraint, therefore there is room for improvement in the design that would increase the robots ability to cross gaps. The final in class […]
In order to cross the gap, the four of us did not find a feasible and proper plan until it was too late. While our strategy of brainstorming and then designing (or thinking of designing) over and over is an essential part of the Engineering Design Process, it can be difficult to change designs multiple […]
The intention of our robot was to have our EV3 brick cross a six-inch gap. The large motor was supposed to push the belt over the gap, and then when the belt was over, the medium motor was supposed to move the gears, moving the EV3 brick over the gap. However, this did not prove […]
