Functional Requirements

The functional requirements define the end product and what is expected to be delivered for the working product.

1. The robot must fit within the 180mm diameter, imposed by SSL rules.
2. The chassis should be lightweight.
3. Designed with modularity in mind for easy maintenance.
4. The robot should use four/three-wheel omni-wheels for fast movement in any direction.
5. Brushless DC motors (BLDC) with high torque to enable fast acceleration.
6. Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) to control the BLDC motors with feedback for speed and direction control.
7. The robot must be able to consistently kick the ball.
8. A dribbler system for ball control.
9. Sensors to detect the ball relative to the robot.
10. Wheel encoders and IMUs for feedback on the robots orientation and speed.
11. Proximity sensors to avoid collisions with other robots.
12. Battery management system that powers the motors, sensors, and electronics for the duration of the SSL game time.
13. Power distribution system for stable power delivery to motors, controllers and other components during high loads.
14. A real-time processing unit capable of processing sensor data, controlling the actuators, and executing commands.
