Created a new program to help calculate the weight of robots!
(screenshots are slightly outdated, some small bugs were fixed for readability)

Features:

  • Timestamped logs
  • Robot name/version
  • Weight class, max weight, weight unit, weight bonus calculations
  • Clean text-based UI/UX
  • Robot data output every cycle
  • Colored warning if overweight
  • Display of last added part
  • Custom and OTC part support
  • Known mass of custom part and known volume and density of custom part support
  • Mass from volume and density calculations
  • Item, mass, unit, and vendor support
  • 4-unit conversions (g, mg, lb, oz)
  • Part Quantity Support

TETRA V11 Updates

  • Modified motor mounts from previous version
    • Found that testing in real life with BBBxN&B N10s would get stuck and could not enter the hole made in CAD (exactly the dimensions of the N10), so expanded size by about 0.5mm
    • Added chamfers to the outside of the N10 mount so that it would be easier to force push the N10s inside
    • Because McMaster-Carr sells screws in almost bulk, it would be best to use the same screw all over the robot if possible to save money, so I found a way to get the screws used in the chassis to be used in the motor mounts when previous versions such as V9 used a different type of screw
  • Removed LED indicator (Malenki-HV has a LED, which I may use)
  • Filleted power switch mount to save weight on corners and reduce it potentially falling off
