One of the senior members on 610, Ryan Tam, recently created a document outlining the design methods and techniques we use. We originally intended for it to be used in-house to teach younger members the basics of CAD, but we figured other teams may be interested in how we work. !Though the content of the tutorial is fairly specific to 610, we have also included our part library which we find incredibly useful.
!In the library we have set the weights and colours on all of the parts, as well as named them with their VEX Pro/AndyMark part numbers. We use SolidWorks, so the library is in .sldprt. You may have to convert it for other 3D modelling software. !We've also attached last years engineering notebook. Keep in mind this is not the only way to do things, nor necessarily the best. This just happens to be the way we do things. We hope the community might be able to get some use out of it. If you have any questions feel free to ask: [email protected]

Well, not actually. As we move into further iterations of our design, we have to work diligently, ensuring that each new part improves upon the last. From numerous tests and numerous failures, we analyze what went wrong, what went right, and tackle the problem again. Not only does this teach perseverance, but leaves us with a final product we are proud of. We’ve passed the halfway mark, and it’s a mad dash to the finish!
Week 3: Panic
Engineers of the Week
The engineers of the week for week 3 are grade 10 students Galen Frostad (below) and Abhinav Dhar! (right) Congratulations, guys!
The younger members of our team have shown incredible skill in designing major subsystems. Both of these guys worked together on their own stye of launcher. They had to think about force required, trajectory, geometry and getting everything to launch a 2 ft. ball! Their work is on-par with our senior members; numerous strong designs raise the overall quality of our work. Their performance promises a strong team in years to come!

!!!Saturday Lunch Sponsors Needed!
We are hoping to get 3-4 families to sponsor each week instead of just 1 family. This will give our boys something other than pizza every week! !
Please contact [email protected] if you are interested in sponsoring a meal.
Special thanks to our brand new sponsor, EMC, for their support!
