log 14

I have had absolutely no time to do logs.  I have had to work constantly on building in order that we may draw what we have.  I uploaded all of my developmental work yesterday, and I worked from the start of lunch to the end then from the start of class to the end.  I was able to complete almost everything.  i will now upload the front and side views.

Motor

Motor is connected to the PIC microcontroller and moves the objects connected to its rotational piece. This rotates with 360 degrees.

Servo

Servo delivers rotation to the different parts of this robot.  The rotation delivered by the servo is limited and cannot make a full 360 degree rotation.

29 motor controller

The 29 Motor controller is an adapter to make the motors compatable with the PIC microcontroller.  With out this the motors will spin without control.  I can say this from experience.

Top

Power Pack

The Power pack hold an electrical charge that feeds the PIC Microcontroller.  This is re-chargable and will be charged prior to the use.

Top

Receiver Module

The Receiver module accepts the signals transmitted from the remote controller and delivers them to the PIC Microcontroller.

PIC Microcontroller

This a 3-D view of the PIC Microcontroller.  This is the "brain box of the entire VEX robot.  All motors plug in to the ports on top.  The power pack and the receiver plugs into the ports show on the front.  Orthographics are shown below.
