THE OSU ROBOTICS CLUB NEEDS YOUR HELP

 

The OSU Robotics Club (OSURC) is participating in a Mars Rover Challenge hosted by the Mars Society this June. Help is needed with some sheet metal work in the construction of a robotic arm for the competition. This arm needs to be able to affix a 1/2" hex bolt to a control panel at heights between 15 and 75 cm off of the ground. It also needs to be as light as possible without hindering structural integrity.

 

OSURC has a good idea for the design but no way of creating it. They could use the help of enthusiastic students with experience in sheet metal work (especially basic brake press operation, shear, and drilling holes) and access to a shop.

 

For more info, visit http://oregonstate.edu/groups/osurc/rover/ OR http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=10&m=253610. If you can help, contact Ryan Albright, OSURC Vice President, at albrighr@engr.orst.edu.
