Abstract
We Tried To Make our Hydraulic Arm To achieve the following Competitions: reach the greatest distance to deliver a given object pick up the heaviest possible object deliver the most objects in a given amount of time function in an assembly line Pick up Objects based on colors. battle against another arm for an object rotate as well as reach and grab Hardware modules: Every thing from scratch. we make initial designs and a lot of testing since our knowledge in mechanics is limited .. We use old VCR ,Voice recorder ,CD ROM, old wall clocks gears , table clocks gears, medical syringes, woodetc We use PIC18f4620 microcontroller with its built in PWM capability to control the 5 DC motors on the arm. We tried to reduce cost of electronic parts by using a relay-based technique , that works fine instead of using many Microcontrollers and H-bridges, which costs a lot!.
