Minibot This week, we reached a major milestone by completing the chassis for our minibot, Crush. With the structure in place, we’re now shifting focus to refining smaller but essential details. We are waiting on one more part to arrive but have been able to substitute a 3D print in the meantime. Danny has been …
The torpedo launcher we’ve been constructing features two cylindrical tubes containing torpedoes that compress a spring and are released by a trigger mechanism. Our design process has led to various alterations, particularly to the barrel, torpedo, and trigger mechanism. For the barrel, we added holes to facilitate water escape making it easier for the torpedo …
As the acoustics team continues development this year, the main priority for the hydrophone mount is modularity: the hydrophones may need to be moved around the robot for tests and the mounts may need to be quickly reprinted to accommodate different designs. Therefore, the hydrophone mount uses a two-part design. The first part is the …
The first step to secure the metal plate was to drill four additional holes into our stack plate. These will allow four additional standoffs to be mounted to hold the plate securely onto the capsule. We used a laser-cut jig to line up a hand drill and manually drilled each one. Then, we cut four …
