Design idea's BY ZION JOHNSON

What lead me to my designs?  The reason why I pick these designs. Because I thought of what we need the robot to do which is. 1. Climb bars 2. Reach the top of mountain 3. claim clear goal 4. Controllable robot 5. Able to put debris in bucket while moving 6. Able to collect debris 7. Able to press reset button 8. Able to get zip line climbers

The climbing over poles mechanisms  This is the mechanism that will help the robot to crawl over the poles. How it works is it has 4 sets of tank treads on the robot. Two on each side. The treads pivot on an axel. Which allows the robot to adjust its self onto the bars.

The way tank treads work  What the picture shows is the motor that spins the treads. Is mounted on another motor which controls the angle of the treads.This assembly sits on the base of robot.

An example of how the treads would work in action  What this shows is the advantage of having these types of treads on the robot. Which lets the robot tilt the treads at an angle to get on the poles.

Collecting and scoring debris  This shows how the collecting and scoring of the debris mechanics works. To collect the debris Theres a rotating axis that has cut rubber tubes for grip and when the axel spins the tubes and comes in contact with debris it will pull it in which leads to a chamber with belts that has flaps on it to grip debris and push it up to a claw that will grab the debris as it comes to the top and move an arm that's connected to the claw over the bucket and release the debris and repeat. This design allows us to rotate the arm 180 degrees left or right to drop debris into bins

The lifting mechanism How this works How this works is it uses a. A tslot mechanism to push up the middle bracket and on the middle bracket there's two brackets that stand up on the main bracket and on each bracket there's one motor and that motor. Is connected to a swinging bracket and it swings out kind of like this and closes. And also which will allow us to pull up A picture of the tslot

Button push mechanism Closed positionOpen positionHow it works This is how the button press works. On a half rotation of the gear the beam is fully out and on a full rotation it's all the way back in

Servo clip relase Picture of mechanismHow it works  The way it works is the servo puts out it arm as the robot climbs the mountain to release the climbers
