R I T Project Description Track Objective: To create a general-purpose, modular platform capable of safely transporting variable payloads. Team Objective: To combine the technologies developed by previous design teams into two fully-operating configurations: rectangular and triangular. Primary Customer:RIT Mechanical Engineering Dept, Dr. Edward Hensel Jr. Secondary Customers: Researchers and Enthusiasts

R I T Top-level Customer Needs Customer Needs Perform safely Comply with regulations Perform tasks in KGCOE Modularity Economical Robust Accommodate other add-ons Appeal The project is properly documented Easy to manufacture Prototype Requirements Max Payload: 100kg (rectangular) 30kg (triangular) Total Budget for both platforms:600.00USD Motor Module Exchange time: 120sec Locate 5 coordinates autonomously

R I T Electrical Wiring Concept PC104 standard technology is designed for limited space applications – –Compact (3.6 x 3.8 in) – –Rugged and reliable connectors – –Low power consumption (1-2watts per module) PC104 enclosure is designed for hostile and mobile environments Shielded wiring will be used to prevent coupling of electrical noise Connection terminals will have locking mechanism to improve robustness Kill switch is used in case of an emergency PC104 enclosure PC104 stack

R I T Power Board Concept Motor modules will be self-regulated The power distribution board will provide 5V and 12V to the PC104 stack Features: Over current protection to onboard electronics Voltage surge protection Provide regulated aux outputs ( two 12Vdc and two 5Vdc line) Its scalable by ‘stacking’ additional power boards

R I T Bill of Materials Budget Risks –Mitigation: Use RIT resources and order Samples to avoid purchasing minor components such as fasteners & resistors

R I T Risk Assessment Motor Module (P07202) Requirements Current 45A w/spikes up to 82A Heat 300F –Mitigation:  Use heavy-duty wiring  Design frame and Thermal Analysis Test on Tube Inserts, Bolts and Connectors –Mitigation:  Impact analysis  Vibration analysis Center of Gravity –Mitigation:  Payload constraints implemented  Turning radius and speed of the platform restricted. Non-deliverable Power Board of the Motor Controller team (P07302) –Mitigation:  Use RP-100 Power Board to provide regulated voltage. Batteries Budget Battery Life –Mitigation:  Negotiate with P07202 Motor Module team  Battery Life monitored by battery indicators. Kill Switch Design and Capability –Mitigation:  Standard red mushroom-shape  Placed between the two 12 Volt Batteries connected in series
