• Component Listing

    We then established a list of component we needed as well as the material we would use for the truck and the mechanical system. We decided to use cut wood (laser cutter) for the truck external structure and to 3D print out the rest. We also need some elastics, metal bars, arduino cards, wires, wheels, a battery for the arduino, some buttons, motors, servomotors...

    Now for the transmission, we wanted to use a motor linked to an elastic that would makes the wheels rotate and to use a servomotor to turn the wheels either left or right. To do so, we would be using metal bars that would fit the size of the wheels we chose.

    Now to make it interactive we want to use buttons to make the truck throw disks and use directional arrows to make the truck turn and move.

    To make a disk thrower, we decided to print a 3D printed wheel linked to a rotating motor on which we would put an elastic around to throw one by one the pile of 3D printed disks. To place  the disk on the path of the rotating motor we create some kind of L shape cardboard structure linked to a servomotor that would make a 45° rotation by pressing a button and it would then get back to its initial position. This way, the disk can be put one by one on the rotating motor path.

    Before making a truck from scratch, we needed to determine the size of it and where we would place all the electronic and mechanic system in the truck. So we used cardboard for the prototype and made a 16x30 (cm) box. We then started to make some 3D prototypes for the internal disk thrower as well as for the wheels transmission's system.
