General Information
The purpose of the Team 6 robot is to transport two cans from one location to another while
traveling around a median. The gripper is designed specifically to hold a can of Campbell’s soup
being picked up in a horizontal orientation (laying down). Any other object that is not similar in
shape or dimensions will not work with this design.
System Overview
The Team 6 robot is comprised of only 3D printed parts, using a short-strand carbon fiber PLA,
with the rest of the parts being pre-manufactured. The following non-printed components are
listed below:
- Flysky Controller
- SM-S4306R Servo
- SM-S4315R Servo
- AR-120MG Servo
- AA Battery Holder
- Omniwheel
- Arduino Nano
- TB6612 Motor Controller
- 6mm Motor Guide
- Arduino Female Headers
- Motor Controller Headers
- DC Motors
- Toggle Switch
- Bike Wire
- Carbon Fiber PLA
- AA Batteries
- 9V Battery
- High-Temperature Silicone
- F/F Wires
- M/M Wires
Controller Instructions
- The controller used for this robot is a FLYSKY FS-i6 as seen in Figure 1.
- Only the analog sticks will be used as well as one switch to control the robot.
- The on/off switch is on the bottom right of the remote. Press the switch up to turn it on
and down to turn it off.
Important Notes:
- When turning the controller on, have all switches and right analog stick pressed up and
the left analog throttle stick down. After turning the controller on, move the analog sticks
and gripper switch back to their centered positions.
- When turning the entire system on, ensure to turn on the controller before turning on the
switch on the robot.

Gripper Switch:
- The switch is off when it is in the center position 2, shown above.
- The switch can be flipped on or off by switching it up or down to position 1 or 3, shown
above.
- Turning the switch to positions 1 or 3 will open and then close the gripper in a full
rotation.
- To stop the gripper in the midst of this rotation, change the switch to its center position 2.
