After designing the bracket for the side panel of the Big Bot, the SOLIDWORKS file was then saved and uploaded into another software. The software we use is called CURA, and the file format that was needed to upload the part file from SOLIDWORKS to CURA is STL. After the design is finished, there is a need to perform a "save as" then there is a need to choose the option for STL for the 3D printing software (CURA) to recognize the design. Below is a picture of the process we went through.
The part was successfully 3D printed and mounted onto our Big Bot. The Big Bot is more for lifting caps, within the VEX turning point game, and the Small Bot is more for shooting balls. Each team has to come up with a strategy for playing the game, which includes the path of the robot, and what it will essentially do for points. The strategy is important to master and practice everyday, or the team will have difficulty in execution during the actual competition.
