1. Brian Russell – Team Manager/ME Vince Baier – Lead Engineer/EE Tom Anderson – ME Dan Chin – ME Matt Padula – ME Emile Lebrun – EE Eric Harty - CE

2. Introduction First Team in project line Worked in conjunction with Navigation team Two teams continuing through 2009-3

3.  Robot carries and cares for a plant  Robot moves slowly  Promotes innovation and green values at RIT  Friendly to passing pedestrians  Test stand produced for Navigation team  Must be able to return home  Last an entire day of roaming

4.  Two speeds required to move normally and turn  Needs high torque in order to overcome small obstacles and inclines in field  Return home mode should be manual  Dispense water when needed  Provide asylum for plant

5. INITIAL DESIGNCURRENT DESIGN

6. GOALS  10 in/min  15°/sec turning  9 hr battery life  5-15 in*lb torque  2 Amp current draw  50lb ACTUALS  <10 in/min  22°/sec turning  ~15 hr battery life  8.851 in*lb torque  2.3 Amp current draw  ~130lb  Plow

8.  Plowing robot  DC-DC board now fully operational  Chain skip occurs when over tightened from motor to transmission  Encoders implemented with improved ones on order  Software interface fully functional

9.  Integrate Shell of robot with locomotion components  Final integration with Navigation components  Field testing  Facebook/Twitter  Improvements in quality of modular parts
