6. N10 – RMRC Rover
N10 is a rover like robot based on a rocker bogie design. The 6 Wheels can turn perpendicular to the ground. The 3-segment robotic arm lays ontop on the rover in its resting position. There, the camera mounted to its gripper can function as a rear camera while driving. The main / front camera is fixed to the first segment.
N10 was our robot in the RoboCup World Championship 2024 in Eindhoven in the RMRC league (Rapidly Manufactured Robot Challenge). This was the first real competition for our newly founded team.
The first version was designed and built in under two months, which led to several challenges along the way and multiple problems in the actual competition. Our previous TDM (Team Description Material) for Eindhoven and the original design are available via the following links:
The lessons we learned in Eindhoven were incorporated into our new rover design. We developed a completely new modular main body. While the rocker-bogie suspension remains largely the same, the adjustments to the models and a different 3D-printing method have significantly improved the durability of the parts. Additionally, both the robotic arm and gripper feature a new design.
