^to be continued with shrinjay and ray

Goal for next week: Connect with shrinjay and ray, fill out constraints n criteria table, what type of camera is it?

Grabber

  • Simon, Kayla, Cindy, Jackie

Constraints

Criteria

Objectives

Must be able to pick up any shape within 20x20x20cm

Easily modular/easily dismount+mountable

Grabber and gimbal are interchangeable (optional)

Must keep object vertical within 45 deg

Easy assembly

Non-human interaction to pick up

Must be able to pick up 2kg weight

Use parts that are simple to use for other subteams (ie. servos)

Keep object vertical

Must not exceed 300g (tentative value)

Minimize cost (use available resources)

Soft drop-off

TBD: speed constraints

Minimize weight

 

 

As aerodynamic as possible

 

Goal for next week: research & sketch ideas

Frame/rotor

  • Brielle, Justin, Megan, Steven, Shangheethan, Carly

Constraints

Constraints

Criteria

Objectives

Frame itself must not exceed 2kg

Minimize weight

Travel 3km range

Frame + motors must not exceed 5kg

Withstand crashes

Mounting locations to support all electrical parts

TBD: size constraints

Arms easily removeable to replace

Embed camera in frame (optional and cool)

TBD: motor constraints (from electrical)

Minimize cost

Centralize C.O.G.

TBD: speed constraints

As aerodynamic as possible

 

 

Support fixed camera pointing down

 

Goal for next week: Talk to other subteams about what is needed on frame, frame research

TODO:

  • Test rig for Ryan

    • perhaps ask Gordon

    • Josh will help with this

  • ^ this but its a camera and an IMU instead of a fan

 

  • communicate with electrical team for power, # motors → weight

  • Steven and Cindy to make timeline

  • create subsystem pages

  • add Josh and Kayla to GrabCAD

  • Make sure everyone has SW21

    • Kayla, Josh
