side motor78 viewsa simple modification to a bilge pump and we already have a watertight motor moduleproject1726
|
|
|
|
lens cover43 viewshere's the camera cover (lexan cutout) and the end of the ROV it goes inproject1726
|
|
current plan58 viewshere's the "shell" for the current designkforbes
|
|
|
prioritizing list51 viewswe created this list to prioritize the missions so we have goals to aim for when designing the robotkforbes

|
water tight plug in tube45 viewsHere it is tightened in the same tube that will be used on the ROVs. project1726
|
|
water tight plug45 viewsyou can see the rubber o-ring that widens when the plug is tightenedproject1726
|
|
|
soldering speed controllers65 viewsSean and Laura learned to solder stuff, in particular the new BB speed controllers (BB 3-9)project1726
|
|
NURC tether53 viewswe bought a 75' length of cat-6 cable as the tether for the robot. So far it appears to be just the thing we neededproject1726
|
|
power terminal block71 viewswe used a small terminal block as the power distribution center for the robot. power to the speed controllers as well as from the controllers to the motors is all handled hereproject1726
|
|
I spy an electronics board73 viewsWe cut and formed the electronics board (semi-cylindrical lexan insert) that will hold every electrical component found inside the robotproject1726

|
working on the 'bot55 viewssean and gary get ready to put it in the water...kforbes
|
|
NURC test dive49 viewswe just pulled it out after the initial dive; it had some buoyancy issues we needed to addresskforbes
|
|
NURC bot w/ bonnet?103 viewshmm... maybe not... but the flotation device helped somewhat!kforbes
|
|
electronics board102 viewsHere it is; the somewhat small and compact electronics board for hte prototype 'bot. It's a little messy, but we plan on taking what we learned from the construction of this board and building on that when we construct the other 2 boards.kforbes
|
|
Skids33 viewsWe put skids on the ROV to allow it to sit nicely on the workbench and the floor of the pool, as well as to protect the vertical thruster.GUI
|
|
Electronics Design40 viewsSeveral students discussing the configuration of the electronics in the robot.GUI
|
|
Electronics Work37 viewsHere I am removing an unnecessary connector from the Vex signal splitter to save space in teh robot.GUI
|
|
Electronics Test48 viewsTesting the electronics before hitting the pool.GUI
|
|
Electronics52 viewsThe electronics spread out on the workbench. We are considering soldering the wires directly instead of using terminal blocks to save space.GUI
|
|
Prop Test42 viewsTesting the robot with two types of propellers.GUI
|
|
Captain, we've capsized!41 viewsThe ROV on it's side for quick adjustments.GUI
|
|
On the prowl...46 viewsThe bot in the pool for testing.GUI

Current Prototype Status43 viewsThis is the general appearance of the prototype as of today's meeting. We made a quick handle and attached a light, as well as trying out different propellers.GUI
|
|
Mounting Props36 viewsMr. Forbes helping Sean mount a propeller on the ROV after a side-by-side comparison showed model airplane propellers to be more effective than the pc cooling fan blades we had been using. Further tests with larger fan blades will help determine the best props for our robot.GUI
|
|
Bouyancy bag57 viewsOk, it's really a Leg Bag, but it might work...if not, we might try an IV bag, but they're harder to get ahold of.squirrel
|
|
Glued prototype robot58 viewsThe prototype robot is glued together, the 3 thrust motors are installed. Still needs the lens to be glued in.squirrel
