I’ve finaly complited my MacroCAD. I had a few problems during the assembly, however I’ve managed to fix all the issues.

The remote look so cool!!

It was a long 10 hours; I moved back and forth between different parts of the project. I installed the self-locking nuts onto the motor shafts (a very long, arduous, and boring process). Afterward, I built the entire conveyor system, but while i was working on it- and during a test run of the rover by my teammate-the brushless motor drivers burned out. We managed to get almost everything working in time to shoot the presentation video for the WRO. I assembled the entire scanner, mounted all the internal boards, and did a great job with the wiring. In meantime, I received a Centaury Carbon 2 Combo, a gift from our sponsor, Crea 3D.

it’s been a tough few hours, I’ve build a tensiometer for the rover’s wheels, assembled the scanner module, and concluded the initial motion test.

I’ve done some adjustment to reinforce the 3d printed motor parts

I’ve cleared up some of my doubts about the motion of the rover, though I’m far from having solved all of them

The motor is working!!!! I’ve done some important circuit for the power management of the rover battery.

I’ve fixed some issue due to a wrong manufacturing processes.

Finally I’m working on the thing

I’ve checked all the screws and bolts, for the BOM, though I found some mistakes due to the last minute changes that I made yesterday. Unfortunately I’ve already committed the laser cutter job :(

I’ve done the v.3 of the nesting file to match the wood sheets that I found in my local hardware shop

I’ve added the linear motor to the conveyor, I’ve also modified the nesting and the printable files to match the modification

I’ve organized all the printed parts on 15 different plates :) I’ve also done minor changes on the conveyor.

I’m working on the nesting layout file. I’m gonna send it to my local fablab as soon as possible. I’ve also fixed some problems. Next steps are:
1)Create the 3d printing layout for every pieces,
2)Make a list of all the screws and bolts that I need (A LOT),
3) Buy everything and assemble it.

The scanner module is almost ready for production

I’ve made a lot of adjustments to the parts that carry Argo’s load. I’ve also started working on the scanner module.

I opted for this industrial look design

This is my site’s landing page, I spent quite a lot on this graphics though I forgot to stream my work. I’ll probably change the Hobby part that sucks, maybe is due to the ugly icon that I chose.

The next steps are:

1. Create pages about each project I build
2. Create a page for my future Robotics club
3. Change the palette and the images

Finishing up the ARGOsite!
