Mech - Lessons from comp 2022

Owned by Matthew Visser
Problem | Explanation | Proposed Resolution |
|---|---|---|
Testing | 3D printed parts, landing gear, gimbal, grabber | Regular Flight testing (2 weeks or weekly). Also, mechanical only testing such as drop tests |
Iterating | Some parts of the drone weren’t redesigned until it was too late | Design cycle needs to be completed and then restarted in order to iterate |
Aluminum | a nono | carbon fiber and order it in advance |
dome for electronics | no harnessing so wasn’t really top of mind | plan for electronics placement (generally), so that we can design the dome |
Vibration | Design didn’t account for vibration until right before comp and locktite was our only solution | Yes use locktite where necessary, but design around vibration, including learning more about it |
