SEM200 - Machine Design Project: Warman Competition Robot Design

This machine design project focuses on the Warman Student Design and Build Competition, detailing the design and development of a robot for the competition. The project outlines team setup, individual roles (including specialist, coordinator, implementer, monitor evaluator, and completer-finisher), and contributions towards solving coding issues, planning work strategies, designing the robot in CAD, and ensuring project progress. The project identifies the challenge of object collection by robots and proposes a collecting mechanism using a lead screw, shroud holder, and back plate. The conceptual model and final design model are discussed, including justifications for component choices like the lead screw and plumbing pipe. Safety considerations are addressed through failure mode and energy analysis. Feedback from a project gateway presentation is incorporated, and a prototype build plan for the pick-up and drop-off subsystem is described, highlighting the lead screw's significance in enabling linear motion and supporting weight. The document concludes by emphasizing the importance of teamwork, design decisions, and safety measures in achieving the project goals. Desklib provides access to this project and numerous other solved assignments for students.
