The discussion revolves around a robotics project focused on designing a mechanism to enable a robot to dump objects using a rotary motor. Participants explore various approaches to achieve the desired dumping action, considering mechanical configurations and motor functionalities.
The discussion does not show clear consensus, as participants are exploring different ideas and solutions without agreeing on a single approach.
Participants have not provided detailed diagrams or specifications of the robot's design, which may limit the clarity of proposed solutions. The effectiveness of suggested methods remains untested in the discussion.
Maybe attach a string to the bottom edge of the bucket and have your motor spin to wind up the string...?Leo t said:Homework Statement
In my robotics class I was task with creating a robot to lift and house objects, I have the lifting mechanism, and a housing area, but I can't figure how to get the bucket of the robot to dump using a rotary motor.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Tried to fixate a gear at the back have to leverage up, but it doesn't pivot, it just drags the bucket off, any ideas.
