Chassis Protector

a protective frame for the robot chassis

Protector on Robot

The task was to design a protective frame for the robot chassis. In the rules, it states that a frame is needed in order to protect the electronics on the chassis, the playing field, and the robot itself during collisions.

I made some sketches based on a design I was planning on using.

I made 3 different iterations and am still in the process of completing it.

Versions v1, v2, and v3 from left to right with documentation embedded.

In the process of making these designs, I made a version 2.1 design and performed a static analysis on the roller bracket with calculations that can be viewed here.
