3-2-26 Energy Efficiency¶
Anthony Ge, Mason Tsai, Zachary Martinez, Anthony Wheeler
Goals¶
Test intake and conveyor for energy efficiency
Results¶
Tested voltage at different intake speeds.
Tested voltage of counterrollers.
Tested voltage at different conveyor speeds.
We found that the conveyor used a lot of amperage (40 A at 4 V)
Further loosened the counterrollers
Removed bar in the middle of the conveyor
Still used a lot of power
Placed a pulley (not attached to anything) between the belts on the conveyor.
Tested shooter at various voltages.
Discussed various improvements with other subteams
Found new voltages for intake
Continuation¶
Improve design
