Given that the De-space significantly affects variations in MTF, the design of the focusing mechanism should ensure the restoration of optical alignment mostly by adjusting De-space, with limited adjustments to De-center and Tilt. As shown in Figure 2 , by exploiting the relation between the De-space and MTF, the desir...

These matrices produce the desired effect only if they are used to premultiply column vectors, and (since in general matrix multiplication is not commutative) only if they are applied in the specified order (see Ambiguities for more details). The order of rotation operations is from right to left; the matrix adjacent t...

As a robotics team in a STEM school, we know how much our education has impacted us in how we function within the team. In a city like Dallas, where economic and racial disparities are large enough that not everyone has access to the same education that we do, we wanted to build upon our existing efforts to improve com...

In the study, the position coordinates of the handwriting tasks were extracted from the databases to later reproduce them in the robot, where the values of the angles made in the execution of the handwriting tasks were obtained by means of the developed inverse kinematics algorithms. These values, together with the for...

Last season, Ducky (as seen in idea #4) brought Iron Reign good luck whenever the drivers squeezed them, and so we knew that we wanted to incorporate Ducky into whatever the final product would be. Some team members suggested fusing together multiple rubber duckies to fit the dimensions in the rule book. I had a better...

Having worked with tracked vehicles, I wanted to do something with wheeled vehicles. I briefly considered two wheeled vehicles (plus castors), but dismissed them as “ugly” and typically too small to accommodate the expected hardware components; later I came to regret dismissing such a vehicle. I briefly considered omni...

Modern automated systems incorporate closed-loop feedback for motion control. They typically include a servo system that consists of a motor driver and feedback elements combined in a manner that gives accurate and stable control over speed and position. The various system-level components of a typical servo system are...

Alternatively, consider the case when w 2 is placed in the wheel plane of w 1 but with the same orientation, as in a bicycle with the steering locked in the forward position. We again place point P between the two wheel centers and orient the wheels such that they lie on axis x 1 . This geometry implies that   l 1 = ...

a radio that “fits in your pocket”? People would really understand how revolutionary that is! The problem was that the radio most certainly didn’t fit in the average-sized shirt pocket. The solution? Alter the shirt pockets of the sales team so they were big enough to fit the radio. It worked. Soon the United States st...
