Process that allows for rapid construction of machines.
Learn how to design those finger joints used in many laser-cut and routed parts.
“Covers some physics and equations that are used in JVNs calculator and some commonly used design concepts/principles related to motors, drivetrains, and arms.”
A variety of FRC mechanical resources and information.
Useful design sheet for quick robot calculations and documentation for FRC robots
This is one of the most useful items for mechanical design in FRC. You can easily see how changing a sprocket or switching a motor will change your mechanism.
“Dan Gelbart made a fortune in R&D for his company Creo. His prototyping was done at home, in his basement, using tools on par with what many of us have access to at our local hackerspaces and universities.”
Lectures, Notes and Materials from an MIT Professor (FRC Mentor). Fantastic resource for mechanical engineering knowledge.
Presentation on mechanical design principles many of which apply to FRC Robots.
Similar to the above but the examples are specific to wheelchair design,which can translate easily to FRC robots.
Ignore the parts specifically about combat robots (Weight classes and weapons). The materials section alone is worth the read.
