That's a good idea, I never thought about the fact that the arm would be moving in the x direction as theta is altered.
How would you suggest that I solve for theta with your approach?
How we are designing the robot to function is that the robot will be able to determine, if stopped in its current position, if there is an angle theta where it is possible to clear the wall and hit the target.
If the robot determines no angles possible for these conditions, then it will move...
Thank you so much,
No they are just dashes ( / ), breaking up my initial constraints.
What I meant by them was that Sy = (h + L.SinTHETA) and its also = 0.33m
I'm sorry, I should have been clearer.
The water does not have to just barely clear the wall, I was just assuming the wall to be 0.33m in my calculations so that there is 3cm of minimum clearance, no matter what the theta angle is.
Yes, the problem is just to clear the wall and hit the target.
I'm sorry, I may have been a little unclear.
No, the velocity is going to be fixed and it is purely the angle that will be used to hit target.
Yes, the water stream has to clear the wall and hit the target.
For my 1st calculations I am purely concerned with determining the min and max angle for theta that will clear the wall.
The wall is actually 0.3m high and I had added on an additional 0.03m of height to the projectile's path to...
Thank you,
Yes, we have considered the affect of air resistance on our stream of water however, we have decided to ignore it for the moment as the diameter of the nozzle is approximately 1mm (we're building a model robot) therefore, there would be very little resistance to our tiny stream of...
Hi, I am new here to the forum and I am having trouble with a project that I am undertaking with some friends.
We are trying to build a firefighting robot.
I am trying to derive an expression to solve for the launch angle theta of the water so that at x (meters), the projectile will be at 0.33...
