ABSTRACT Overhaul basically is project that deals with constructing a ROBOT, which will be manually controlled. In our real life there arise many situations such as earthquakes, floods, and avalanches etc. which demand swift and appropriate action. This timely action can save many lives, but it’s not always possible for rescue teams to reach the most inaccessible areas. This calls for a ROBOT which can accurately sight the victims, reach them by traversing any terrain and then finally save them by bringing them safely to the safe area. In Overhaul we therefore try to develop such a BOT which can travel over any broken terrain be it sandy, covered with pebbles, water or anything else and recue dummy victims by effectively bringing them safely to the designated area.
INTRODUCTION The first step towards building the BOT is to design the BOT within the specified dimensions which is of 40cmX40cmX40cm. Our BOT measures approximately about 35cmX35cmX35cm. It uses standard 4 PVC tires of diameter 6.5cm each. Our BOT works efficiently on a standard 12V DC supply. For this we either use an Adapter or a SMPS. The main component of the BOT is the crane which needs to lift weights of maximum 300g. To build the crane we have designed a wooden plank capable of holding the crane. This wooden plank can rotate around 360®, giving the crane maximum possible flexibility.
The crane is then connected with 2 High Torque Motors whose work is move the Crane arm up and down. These High Torque Motors are of 10 R.P.M. Another motor is used to control the final Arm of the crane to which is attached the hooks. These hooks are fixed to the last Arm of the Crane giving it maximum possible stability. The whole BOT is controlled by TWO CONTROLS, to which is attached a maximum of 6 DPDT switches which enables the controller to maneuver the BOT sufficiently well.
COMPONENTS USED Wooden Planks Simple Motors (60 R.P.M) High Torque Motors ( 5 and 10 R.P.M) PVC Wheels PVC gears Clamps Shafts Metal hooks
Screws and Bolts DPDT switches 10-wires Single string and Multi string wires Remote Control Box SMPS 220V power supply
BLOCK DIAGRAM TO Construct A Bot
Take a wooden plank measuring 35 X 26cm and make yhje edges plain
Attach 2 clamps on either side of the plank, with exact distnace of 20 cm between them on either side
Attach two High Torque motors to the wooden plank and connect either sde of the 1st arm of the crane, so that it can be moved up and down.
Dril a hole through the pieces and put an axle through it which contains the first arm of the crane.
Attach the 60R.P.M motors to each of the axles of the motors and fix the 4PVC tires tightly to each of them
On the plank attach a block of wood of 10 X 20cm. Attcah two pieces of wood to the sides of the block such that jut out.
Screw a mtor in the middle of the plank leaving a distance of 10 cm on either side.. Screw a PVC Gear to the axle of the motor
Attach a wooden Plank of 20 X 20 cm on the Gear, such that its able to 360.
Attach another arm where the first arm ends, to which is attached two fixed hooks. Fix a High Torque motor on the wooden block, wind a thread on the pulley attached to the motor. the thread is then connected to the 2nd arm of the crane
Component Description 1.Wooden Planks-
We use wooden plank here because of the stability which it provides. Its easy to shape, cut and use. Other materials such metal or aluminum can be used but then the BOT will not be as flexible. 2. 60 RPM Motors-
Features
60RPM 12V DC motors with Gearbox 3000RPM base motor 6mm shaft diameter with internal hole 125gm weight 2kgcm torque No-load current = 60 mA(Max), Load current = 300 mA(Max)
3.High Torque Motors
Features
10RPM 12V DC motors with Metal Gearbox and Metal Gears 18000 RPM base motor 6mm Dia shaft with M3 thread hole Gearbox diameter 37 mm. Motor Diameter 28.5 mm Length 63 mm without shaft Shaft length 15mm 180gm weight 42kgcm torque No-load current = 800 mA, Load current = upto 7.5 A(Max)
4.PVC Wheels
High quality Plastic Tracked Wheel for motors with 6 mm diameter.
68mm diameter 4cm width Hole diameter 6.1 mm Screw for fastening on motor shaft Made from virgin plastic
5.PVC Gears
This is a plastic gear building your own gearbox with customized gear ratio. The gear diameter is 12.50mm with 30 teeths. The motor shaft diameter is 3.00mm. It can be used with Motor axle diameter 2.0mm .
6.DPDT Switches:
This is a multipurpose DTDP Slide Switch. It is medium sided and perfect for mounting on boards and on enclosures, for which it comes with two holes on its body. Use this as a On/Off switch or just as a general purpose switch. This switch can also be used to control the direction for a DC Motor. 7. 10 Wires
Ribbon cable is really helpful in situations where you need to make a lot of connections without a big mess of wires. Nothing makes a project look more finished than a nice clean wiring harness.This is a 15ft. length of 10-wire ribbon cable.
8. Clamps
The clamp is used to mount the motors. 9. SMPS
General Purpose Power supply, 12V 2A, SMPS Based Design, Light Weight used to convert the 220V AC supply to 12V DC at which the motor works.
10. Shaft
1" diameter up to 2 11/16"Standard lengths: 20', 10', & 5'

LIMITATIONS OF THE BOT
Needs a stable supply of 220V AC . The crane cannot lift weights more than 300 g. The BOT has a maximum speed of 60 RPM per second Cannot rescue more than two victims at a time.
