The purpose of this document is to describe and justify the design of team Catch-a-Ride's Mercury Robotics Competition robot. The primary goal of this project was to design a mobile robot that could complete the 2017 Mercury Remote Robotics competition track and all objectives with minimal fault. The robot was designed as a capstone project for ECEN 4024. This document details the design and implementation of the motion platform, manipulator arm and effector, electronics hardware and power distribution, and the control and sensor feedback hardware and software. This document describes the extent to which the design met the project specifications and offers a critique of any systems that failed to meet specifications or could be improved.
