Model Description

Function

The function of this TCP is to securely and effectively rotate the Neuro-Selector Game Piece, ensuring reliability.

Benefits in Relation to the BEST Robot

This design largely benefits robots because it deals with an essential part of the game–the aforementioned Neuro-Selector. If done correctly, accomplishing this task can award a team with many points, so naturally it is in a team’s best interest to routinely succeed at this task. This turner is molded to the cylindrical shape of the selector, which allows the robot to effectively grip the selector and turn it without having to worry about failure or time waste.

Design Process

After reviewing the BEST competition rules and brainstorming a multitude of obstacles that could be solved with a print, we eventually decided to tackle the challenge presented by the Neuro-Selector. The initial shape of the design was established early on, so most of our iterations were spent adjusting the part’s attachment to the robot and the motor. After reaching a satisfactory conclusion to that issue, we started experimenting with different materials to increase surface friction, but ended up just sticking with the base print as adding more material might bring more trouble than it was worth.
Small adjustments to the width of the turner were also made periodically in order to ensure the selector would not slip out of the TCP by accident–or on the flip side, not fit inside the turner at all.
