With time short and the unheard of concept of KISS [Keep It Simple Stupid<\/a>]. Seriously what’s the point of being an engineer if you cant keep making things hard? Anyway we opted for more of a pusher system that could cater for side or front on sheep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Like most things it started with a session on the whiteboard to look at ideas. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We decided that this would work really well as an adaption of the generic attachment created a while back. It simply needed making shorter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Measurements were made of the sheep with a bit of tolerance added so the control would be easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some strengthening triangles were added to the arms as well to give a little more potential strength as the robot can apply a fair amount of torque.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Adding the attachment to the built up model, shows it should fit well. Once printed this matches the real robot perfectly. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
