Design Review Checklist

Checklist for Design Review:

Game Rules:

  • Make sure everything is within frame perimeter

  • Robot dimensions and bumper requirements have been checked

  • Starting configuration of extending mechanisms don’t exceed frame perimeter

  • Robot is within the weight limit

Robot Subsystems:

  • Check individual subsystem assemblies separately

    • Check for any clipping (parts intersecting)

    • Make sure all hardware is installed

    • All part materials are confirmed

    • Make sure all pulleys, gears, and belts are in and connect properly (CHECK BELT DISTANCES)

    • Verify that parts have full range of motion


  • Top level assembly:

    • All subsystems fit within frame perimeter

    • Every subsystem mounts and has proper support

    • Assemblies don’t clip when stationary

    • Movement isn’t limited or interfered for any subsystem

    • Subsystems and components are easy to access

    • Bumpers have area to mount and clearance with subsystems.

  •  Electrical:

    • Electrical components all have space to be installed

    • Cameras, cancoders, etc. are all in required places

    • Wiring routes (e-chain) are correctly mounted for easy access.

    • Battery installation and removal is quick and easy

  • Manufacturing:

    • DXF’s, STL’s and all files have been uploaded to BOM and are ready to cut/print.

    • Parts are not too expensive and should be bought in bulk (PLEASE DO NOT SPAM PROCURE BEARINGS IN SEPARATE ORDERS)

    • All hardware is in CAD and the BOM to be ready for procurement
