The ASEE (American Society for Engineering Education) is hosting a robot design competition on June 27, 2016, in New Orleans, LA. The competition is for first and second year undergraduate students.
See the Official Rules posted on the | ASEE Model Design Competition 2016 page.
This year's competition, "Robot Parade" (NOLA, get it?), gives robots four trials of 90 seconds each to deposit rings into boxes along a route inside of a maze.
Getting started
- Locomotion
- | Differential drive
- A common and popular way drive technique
- Pros: Turns on a dime
- Cons: Has to drag some kind of caster, can be difficult to drive straight
- | Ackerman steering
- The way a car moves
- Pros: Only one drive motor
- Cons: Finite turning radius, needs a rear axle differential gear
- | Mechanum wheels
- Wheels with wheels on them
- Pros: can move in any direction
- Cons: expensive, complicated
- | Tank treads
- Differential drive with a twist
- Pros: Can go over obstacles, can support the most load
- Cons: Turning no so great, might need suspension, complicated or expensive to build
- | Static walking
- 4, 6, or more legs!
- Pros: Um... cool looking?
- Cons: Needs lots of motors, complicated programming to make infinitely adjustable steps
- | Dynamic walking
- 1 or 2 legs
- Pros: nah
- Cons: Impossible
- | Differential drive
- Sensing
- Optical
- Position
- Force
- Contact
- Magnetic
- Manipulation
