- 06:33 PM Mechanical: RE: Chassis/Propulsion Design Brainstorming
- here is a fleshed out design from your google sketchup drawing. will this work? As far as I can see we only need on...
- 05:05 PM Mechanical: RE: Chassis/Propulsion Design Brainstorming
- I just realized a critical design flaw- my propulsion method will not allow the robot to orient itself in a particula...
- 03:45 PM Mechanical: RE: Chassis/Propulsion Design Brainstorming
- I can post some screenshots. I also realized you already have a setup that is much simpler than mine. The only bene...

- I no longer have solidworks on my computer :(
is there any way you could post screenshots of your ideas? - 11:37 AM Mechanical: RE: Motor Building
- They arrived, apparently Andrew tested them (in air), he said:
"They've got some kick. But the seal is bad. Try c...

We need to look into the following:
-The ... - If our first task is to have one robot follow the other, how could we achieve this? How should we approach this probl...

- What kind of processor do you think we will need for the robot? For testing, should we use a nice one, then switch to...
- Triangulation seems to be the best way to figure out where all of the robots are underwater. What methods do you guys...
- So, rangefinding seems to be necessary no matter what the technology we are planning on using. We will need to develo...
- So the bollard test device that we started was never finished. Did we want to meet up at some point and finish it up?...
- I know we are waiting on some motors to come in, how are we planning on waterproofing them?
If you have it, feel f... - So let's hit off this discussion.
We need to send data underwater. The range of the data we are transmitting will... - What do you guys want to name these things?
Someone mentioned Feebas for our first one, (http://bulbapedia.bulbag... - The project goal is rather daunting.
