Mechanical Design

Our robots are designed in compliance with the new F180 size regulations. We built four identical field players and a goal keeper. All robots have stable aluminum frames that protect the sensitive inner parts.

They have a differential drive with two active wheels in the middle and are supported by one or two passive spheres that can rotate in any direction. Two Faulhaber DC-motors allow for a maximum speed of about 1 m/s. The motors have an integrated 19:1 gear and an impulse generator with 16 ticks per revolution.
