Boe-bot 3d model

gambit

Helle there!

I'm currently working on a Boe bot, for a school project, and i'm looking for a 3D model, of this bot, in an Autodesk Inventor Pro (v10.0) format.
Does some one know where i would be able to find it?

Thank in advance.

ok, no problem [noparse];)[/noparse]

nobody for my request?

Mr. Richard

I am no help in sending you Inventor files, but I can send you to a site that has many models, both parts and assemblies for downloading. I have used some parts in SolidWorks with success. whatever is not available there, a pair of dial-calipers and a few hours in-front of a computer will get you what you need!

yeah, what is it?
can you give me the link?

look what i've all ready made:

Judging by your drawing it looks like a ball griper maybe for a ping pong or golf ball. So what are you working on?

gambit

i'm currently working on a bot, wich must collect ping pong balls. this is it, for the mecanic part.
For the electronic part, the bot will be able to, cross a labyrinth, alone, with two sensors.

what do you think about it?

Mr. Richard

I like it. looking at your drawings, i would ask if there is some plan to guide and/or trap the balls before you pick them up. my concern is that if your bot wasn't directly above the ball, the gripper would grab on the wrong side of the balls center and move the ball away from the grabber.

Just one of my two cents

I think it looks great but have you built it yet? All those curved slots and different shapes are going to be tough unless you have a CNC. If all you need to do is pick up ping pong balls wouldn't the parallax gripper be fine?

Your gripper is on the bot's rear end, not at the front. I hope that is what you intended. It seems like it would be more difficult to make it work that way.

i've made all what you can see!

Don't worry for the ball, it's placed 10 milimeters above the groud, locked on a support, so, the gripper will take it [noparse];)[/noparse]

Sizes are tiniest as possible!

The block was directed by a specifications book: no size rules, but the electromagnet usage (only one) was obligatory!
All the block will be make by CNC (manuals will be hardest), but, beffor, i'll make a FastProto, to see problems which would happened.
I could not use Parallax model, because, an entire work from myself was expected.

At the begining, the bot will be allready above the ball, 'll close the gripper, and roll across the labyrinth.

Like you had seen it, the gripper is in the back of bot, it's normal, sensor are on the front, to give direction to bot.
