Initial+Design

HOME DAILY LOG FINAL DESIGN Initial Design: Here are some suggestions to get you started with your initial designs. It is important that we think about and plan our approach so that we do not waste time and can predict some of our possible road blocks.
 * Functions:
 * What do we expect our robot to be able to do? Be specific. Be thorough.
 * e.g. Locomotion - the robot should be able to move forward and backward as well as rotate in any direction while maintaining its position.
 * e.g. Claw - the robot will use a claw-type structure to grip objects
 * Systems:
 * What will we use to implement our functions?
 * e.g. Locomotion - the robot will utilize a tripod platform with two wheels driven independently with motors and a third castor-type wheel for stability.
 * e.g. Claw - the robot will use a third motor to activate the claw. The motor will be mounted horizontally with one fixed talon and one rotating talon.
 * Integration:
 * How will the systems work together?
 * Include a picture of a sketch of your initial design.
 * Pseudo-code:
 * A set of written statements that outline step by step what your program will do.
 * Design Analysis:
 * Any mathematical calculations, graphs or tables that inform your design.
 * A list of expected challenge areas with explanations.
 * Goals
 * One or two challenge goals that you are interested in pursuing for the challenge.
