This is meant for the autonomous period which is 15 seconds and the driving period which is 1 minute 45 seconds. The Smart Field Controller connects to all four robots in the playing field and when the timer stops the Smart Field Controller stops all four robots so they cannot move anymore. https://maplerobotics.ca/post/chapter-05/ Thu, 13 Apr 2023 11:15:58 -0400 https://maplerobotics.ca/post/chapter-05/ We tested the pneumatics out and we successfully make the double acting cylinder go in and out. First we added air to the reservoir and then we turned on the on and off switch to successfully release air into the double acting cylinder. We programmed the reservoir to release air when we press a button on the controller and then suck the air out when press another button. So when we pressed a button on the controller the double acting cylinder moved and when we pressed another button it went back. https://maplerobotics.ca/post/chapter-04/ Wed, 12 Apr 2023 11:14:48 -0400 https://maplerobotics.ca/post/chapter-04/ After deciding that the Mecanum drive was not suitable for this mission, we decided to change to the Tank drive. We made a 3d model on Fusion 360 and we debated about where the six wheels would be used in our drivetrain. Eventually we settled on 4 omni wheels that are placed on the corners of the drivetrain because it would be able to turn easier and we put friction wheels in the middle because wheels in the middle can turn easier. https://maplerobotics.ca/post/chapter-03/ Tue, 11 Apr 2023 11:13:32 -0400 https://maplerobotics.ca/post/chapter-03/ Pros of the H-drive Due to its additional support systems, which make it more robust and balanced than other drive trains, it is first and foremost significantly more stable and simple to manage than the X-drive.This implies that it can move around during the autonomous phase more steadily. The wheel in the centre gives it greater manoeuvrability than the tank drive. The extra wheel serves as a pivot, enhancing the H-drive’s ability to turn with greater agility. https://maplerobotics.ca/post/chapter-02/ Mon, 10 Apr 2023 11:00:59 -0400 https://maplerobotics.ca/post/chapter-02/ Our team created a tank drive to understand the basics of a drivetrain in order to create more complex drivetrains in the future. A Tank Drive is a simple drive train consisting of c-channels, 4 traction wheels or 2 traction and 2 omni wheels. The omni wheels that may be on the robot are locked since locking an omni wheel will optimize turning. How we built the X-drive We researched the x-drive and its structures. https://maplerobotics.ca/post/chapter-01/ Sun, 09 Apr 2023 10:58:08 -0400 https://maplerobotics.ca/post/chapter-01/ The mecanum drive was the first ever drive we built with the vex parts. First, we created a simple tank drive but after that we added different sensors and the mecanum wheels. The sensors we added were the optical sensor, the gps sensor, and the rotation sensor. The mecanum drive is not our actual robot and is only used to testing. For example, right now we are testing the gps sensor for the vex autonomous skills challenge. https://maplerobotics.ca/contact/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://maplerobotics.ca/contact/ Email imuliping@gmail.com Phone 6473385309 https://maplerobotics.ca/project/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://maplerobotics.ca/project/ Smart City Smart Drone Lander Smart Helmet https://maplerobotics.ca/vrc/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://maplerobotics.ca/vrc/ Every child is unique, with diverse interests that reflect their individuality. Some are passionate about music, while others thrive in sports such as squash, badminton, or volleyball. Some prefer martial arts like taekwondo, while others find excitement in playing or developing video games. Children naturally learn from and inspire one another, creating a vibrant and dynamic journey of exploration and personal growth. 2024-2025 Team Members 2023-2024 Team Members Sub Team Name Leader Co-leader Coding Team Alex Daniel Engineering book Team Jason Bryan Building Robot Team Hunter Alex Creating 3D model Team Bob Hunter Controlling Robot Team James Eric Designing T-shirt Team Eric James Finding Sponsors Team Bryan Bob Media Team Daniel Jason https://maplerobotics.ca/wro/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://maplerobotics.ca/wro/ 2024 Team members: Eric Yu, Ray Shen, Eric Ge 2023 Team members: Eric Yu, Ray Shen, Eric Ge 2022 Team members: Alex Li, Bryan Ye, Jason Bi, Daniel Shen, Eric Ge, Ray Shen 2021 Team members: Alex Li, Bryan Ye, Jason Bi, Daniel Shen, Eric Ge, Ray Shen 2019 Team members: Alex Li, Bryan Ye, Jason Bi, Daniel Shen, James Wang
