Assignment

There are a number of projects that will be introduced at the beginning of this robotics unit. The projects will be new designs or improvements to existing designs. By completing these projects you will be participating in the design process. Students must participate in the projects alone or in groups in such a way that each student completes the following;

• A - Each student must complete an engineering drawing of a fabricated part or create an assembly drawing.
• B - Fabricate a part.
• C - Inspect a part and hand in an inspection report.
• D - Assemble an assembly or sub assembly
• E - Create a 3-Space rendering

Part A - Each Student to Create Engineering Drawing for a Fabricated Part or Creating An Assembly Drawing

• Fabricated Part Drawing
  • Create a sketch or have it given from your instructor.
  • Take out a part number for the drawing.
  • Template for CAD Drawing
  • Create an orthographic dimensioned cad drawing or a part. (three view)
    • complete correct information on title block layer
    • add new layer called construction lines and complete correct construction lines
    • complete part on drawing layer
      • dimension correctly
    • print title block and drawing layer
    • have it checked by instructor
  • After corrections are made print final copy to hand in as well as hand in an electronic copy to the appropriate folder on the central server.
    • the file name of the drawing should be its part (drawing) number .mcd
• Assembly Drawing
  • Create a sketch or have it given from your instructor.
  • Take out a part number for the drawing.
  • Template for CAD Drawing
  • Creating Assembly Drawings
  • After corrections are made print final copy to hand in as well as hand in an electronic copy to the appropriate folder on the central server.
  • the file name of the drawing should be its part (drawing) number .mcd

Part B - Fabricating the Part

• Saw and Drill Instruction - Safety
• Finish - Workmanship
• Inspection - Quality Control

Part C - Inspect a Part

• Instructions to follow.

Part D - Assembly and Test of the Hexapod

• Build sub assemblies and final assembly
• Test and troubleshoot

Part E - Creating a Rendered 3-Space Model

• This instruction is being revised
• From the Drawing Package assemble the fabricated parts in 3-space
• add the purchased components
• render in artlantis
