Work Completed

Successfuly prototyped proof of concept for drawbridge release.  Ramp Prototype now nearing completion, if not complete. Aspects are: Body of ramp. In our prototype, 50 inches by ~33 in. In reality, will be about 40x31 inches. Still some questions about power of piston and number of pistons, but proof of concept shows that idea of 12 inch leg with wheel being raised and lowered by piston works. Material for ramp has been tentatively decided. Drawbridge prototype complete, questions: 1 or 2 motors/spools? 

Challenges

Motor powerful enough to lower ramp at reasonable speed, how many spools/motors do we want?

Work for Next Meeting

  • finish building drawbridge prototype
    • Test with motors and gearboxes
