Review & Summary
Review
Make sure to review all the CAD you've done using the review instruction page. If you copied the reference through the instruction slides, you can check against the solution document; otherwise, just exclude that step from the review.
Summary
Congratulations on completing Stage 1E! With the Stage 1E tasks completed, your drivebase is now fully functional and could even be used as a blueprint to manufacture and assemble one.
Here is a quick summary of what you have achieved in 1E:
- Practiced adding parts within the context of a robot, making sure to use an intelligent origin
- Learned the typical workflow for detailing a complex subsystem
- Learned about battery mounting and the importance of a secure battery holder
- Learned about core FRC electronics and how and where to mount them
- Learned how to use the
Electronic MountingFeaturescript - Optionally learned how to pocket a bellypan
- Learned about bumpers, how to model them, and the importance of having a secure mounting system
In Stage 2, you will begin to model robot mechanisms using all the skills you have learned and practiced in Stage 0 and Stage 1. This will teach mechanism design, the purpose and correct usage of some COTS parts, and many important engineering concepts.
