Team Roaring Bears' Robotic Arm
The Roaring Bears constructed a fairly simple arm of total length 44 cm.
They modeled it in SolidWorks using mostly pre-drawn parts, with some additions included, such as the first servo bracket and the pencil holder.
Overall, it was highly successful. It was incredibly smooth-running, despite initial 'junkie' behaviour. However, a lingering problem is the arm's tendency to skew drawings - circles become eggplant-shaped, lines are curved, et cetera. A fix for this is in the works.
The SolidWorks files for the Roaring Bears' Robotic Arm can be found here.
The MATLAB code that controlled the Bears' arm and simulated it can be found here.
