Ridgebotics

This is the team's notebook: lessons from the robot, guides for the mechanisms, and calculators that follow a stall from the motor to the part that fails first.

Lessons Learned

What broke, and the rule we are keeping.

Calculators

All seven are live, from belt and rack through the drivetrain.

Mechanism Guides

Load path, what it teaches, and a session hook.

Checklists

The pre-run list, including a one-page print for the cart.

Resources

Outside tools we use instead of rebuilding them.

Reference

Shared math, motors, human terms, and allowables.
