2. The Black BoxTeam 2 – Absolute Tech 106 D305: Team 2 - Absolute 2 By: Jocelin, Sandy, Nathaniel, and Brian Animated Mechanical Toy November 28, 2008
4. Introduction AMT – The Black Box Two Robots Robots rotates using a friction drive One Tower With One Observation Deck Deck translates up and down using a cam Tech 106 D305: Team 2 - Absolute 4
5. Brainstorming Original design: A tower with an observation deck that moves up and down A train that rotates around the tower Amusement park theme Changes: No more train – 2 robots rotating instead Futuristic theme Tech 106 D305: Team 2 - Absolute 5
7. Digital Model: Process Parts: Everyone did their share of work Very little modification to parts during assembly process Assembly: Jocelin and Sandy put together the figure Brian and Nathaniel put together the mechanical box Tech 106 D305: Team 2 - Absolute 7
8. Digital Model: Process Obstacles: Figure assembly and Mechanical Box assembly did not mate together Figure parts had to be inserted and mated in the Mechanical Box assembly file directly Tech 106 D305: Team 2 - Absolute 8
10. Physical Model: Process Materials: cardboard paper tape hot glue bubble tea straws plastic container/lid wooden skewers chopsticks toys paint rubber bands sand paper staples Instruments/Tools: knife scissors hot glue gun stapler white out hands brains spatial thinking Tech 106 D305: Team 2 - Absolute 10
11. Physical Model: Process Obstacles: Original mechanical box had to resized Crank shaft made out of newspaper Friction drive shaft not stable: supported with casing Tower radius too wide for observation deck One of the robots was too tall/wide Keeping within height constraints Support platform got in the way of cam Tech 106 D305: Team 2 - Absolute 11
12. Differences: Digital vs. Physical Brainstorming: Mechanisms worked exactly the same way we imagined Differences for physical model: Friction drive shaft supporters Crank shaft is longer Crank shaft only turns 1 direction Friction drives placed more towards centre of mechanical box Tower roof is closed No tower supports Tech 106 D305: Team 2 - Absolute 12
