Supply Station

In Superpower Robot Team, I took the responsibility of the mechanical design of the supply station. My team participated in RoboMaster 2017, a robot tactical combat competition, and we won the second prize in Eastern China Sector. The supply station need to collect bullet balls from a “tube”, store them and distribute them to fellow robots. It serves as the foundation of the whole match and means a lot. Generally, it consist of 3 layers, which are collecting, storing and distributing layers from top to bottom. The supply station is a flexible platform, which I designed intentionally in case of any changes. It worked steadily during the competition in Eastern China Sector and efficiently supported the fight of my team. And in the qualifying games for National Competition, the regulations on supply station had a little modification, the number of bullet balls provided each in each game had been significantly increased. As a result, we could have enough bullets to load fellow robots several times! I designed a more efficient and robust triggering facility to adapt to that change. Besides, I reformed the collecting layer by adding a counting function, so that we could precisely distribute bullets to our fighters.
