Kasey III: Barbra

Logomotion (2011) - 2809

K-Botics is proud to introduce our Logo Motion Robot Kasey III (aka Barbra Streisand)

Features

• 13 ft/s Mechanum drive, with gyro stabilization.
• 4-bar Arm balanced by gas spring, currently powered by window motor (likely to change at NY to FP).
• Pneumatic wrist for floor pickup, independent rollers for tube manipulation, pneumatic jaw to handle different sized tubes and quick release of tubes.
• Swing arm mini bot deployment, minibot not shown. Our minibot team is probably on their 10 revision by now, continuous improvement.
• Autonomous using Line Following

Our robot scores on all three levels using a four bar mechanism balanced with a gas spring. A wrist and a roller claw pick up and manipulate tubes then place them on the scoring rack. The claw’s jaw action allows for quick release of the tubes. We improved upon the claw design used by our mentors who participated in 2007’s Rack and Roll game.
