1. AME 40463 Senior Design Group E3: Hewlett-Packers (Robo-football Quarterback) March 27, 2008 Caitlin Feely Ben Nelessen JJ Rees Jamie Rowland Patrick Tennant

2. Project Description Robo-Football Demonstration and Competition Development Intercollegiate robotic “football” competition with elements similar to American Football Will develop rules and quarterback prototype to demonstrate some key features of the game

3. Previous Week’s Action Items Item 1: Select stepper motor and batteries – Decided on 2 ft-lb to raise cannon platform – Obtained two 12 V batteries 24 V necessary to power sprinkler valve Item 2: Develop a preliminary electrical schematic – Need further detail on switches and other connections

4. CAD model

6. Current Graphic Air Cannon Video

7. Current Status Completed CAD drawings and assemblies of prototype parts Built and tested air cannon Schedule – Slightly behind, but working quickly

8. Next Week’s Action Items Item 1: Refine electrical diagram – Determine exact parts needed – Verify part compatibility (Maximum current, voltage) – Acquire remaining parts Item 2: Develop “plays” and code – Invent 4 plays to be coded – Test circuit outside of prototype
