Robot Climbing and Beam Traversal

Group

FIRST Robotics Team 1218 at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy

Date

January 2020 - February 2020

Location

Philadelphia, PA

Skills

Fusion 360 CAD Software, CNC Machining, 3D Printing

Objective

I built a mechanism for a 120lb robot to latch onto a horizontal, unbalanced beam and then traverse along the beam while suspended in the air.

Role

I was responsible for the design, manufacture, and assembly of this mechanism for the team-built robot.

Results

The robot showed consistent climbing performance during competition in the Hatboro-Horsham FMA District Event for the 2020 FIRST Robotics Season.

Reflection

Building this mechanism was the first time I got to lead a group through the engineering design cycle. In this process, I developed my skills in CAD design and gained familiarity with manufacturing.
