Initially with three different leagues 2D: Robot Soccer Simulation league, Small Size Robot league, and Middle Size Robot league.

Also, another challenge, the RoboCup Rescue was proposed in 1999 to show that the result from the robot soccer research could be directly applied on a real world problem like a disaster res

8、cue made by robots. Through the integration of technology and advanced computer algorithms, the goal of RoboCup is to build a team of humanoid robots that can beat the current World Cup champions by the year 2050.  The AxeBot uses three omnidirectional wheels, positioned on a circle with an ang

9、le of 120o among each wheel, to move in different directions. Three Maxxon A-22 motors are used to drive the omnidirectional wheels, one motor per wheel. These motors are controlled by two Brainstem Moto 1.0 and a cascade controller made to control the robot trajectory 2 3. The AxeBot also  hol

10、ds a shooting device to kick the ball in different directions, a Vision System with a CMUCam Plus and GP202 Infra-red sensor 4, a embedded Computer System based on StrongArm, called StarGate Kit and a IEEE 802.11 wireless network card. This work presents the mechanical project to enclose these equip

11、ments into an fully autonomous omnidirectional robot called AxeBot. The complete AxeBot dynamics and kinematics model can be found in 5, this model was used to specify some mechanical parameter, like the wheel diameter.   2. The Chassis     The chassis of the robot is the frame to whi

12、ch all other components can be attached, directly or indirectly. Therefore the chassis must be strong enough to carry the weight of all parts when the robot is in rest o in movement. The chassis has to withstand the forces on it, caused by the acceleration of the robot as well. Another important req

13、uirement of the chassis is that it fixes all components in a stiff way, so that there will be small relative displacements of the components within the robot, during acceleration and deceleration. This is particular important for the three driving motors, which are positioned on the ground plane wit

14、h an angle of 120o between each motor. The performance of the control of the robot is dependent on a precise and stiff placement of the motors 6. The chassis has to be strong enough also to withstand a collision of the robot  against the wall or against another robot, with the highest possible

15、impact velocity that can occur. Finally the chassis has to be built with the smallest amount of material. At first to reduce the costs, and to minimize the total weight of the robot. Less weight requires less power to accelerate. So with the same motors, less weight gives you more acceleration. This

16、 is of course only true, when all the power generated by the motors can be transferred, via the wheels, to the ground. In other words, the wheels must have enough traction that there will be no slip between the wheels and the ground 7.   2.1. Material     Fiberglass was used to build

17、the chassis. This choice is purely financial, because the material is not expensive (although it is strong) and there is no need to hire a professional constructor. The building of all the chassis (six in total) can be done by the team members themselves. Only the moulds have to be built by a profes

18、sional. The upper and lower chassis can be made using one mould that can be adjusted to produce the different chassis.  2.2. Design   The primary goal of the design is the fixation of the motors in the desired positions. Therefore a ground plate with 3 slots for the motors is modeled. At t

19、he front side each motor can be attached to the chassis. At the rim of the ground plate an edge is attached to give the chassis more torsion stiffness. This edge can also be used for attaching other components of the robot, like the covering shell. Also there is a cutout to create space for the shoo

20、ting device of the robot. In section 5 the design of this device will be discussed. However no final design will be presented and therefore we stick with this assumption that the shooting device needs these cutouts. All edges are rounded, because this will make the construction of the easier part. T

21、he final part, the lower chassis, is shown in the figure below. This part is modeled in Solid Edge. To get a stiffer and stronger chassis, a second chassis part, the upper chassis, is modeled. This is almost an exact copy of the  first part, only now there are 3 cutouts that provide more space

22、for placing the components of the robot. These cutouts also save some material and therefore weight. The both parts are This sandwich construction gives the whole chassis more stiffness, and so the total thickness of both the chassis can probably be lower than using one chassis part.    Fi

For the upper and lower chassis, the basis mould is exactly the same. Only piece one and two are dif

25、ferent for the two chassis, the motor piece and the shooting system piece are the same.    Figure 3: Chassis mould  3. Wheels   The AxeBot robot is equipped with three wheels positioned on a circle with an angle of 120  among attached to each other as shown in the picture be

This means that the wheels have to be able to let the robot make two translational movements (in x and y-direction, see figure 4) without rotating the robot around its z-axis (the axis perpendicular to  the y and x-axis, that is rotation in figure 4). The wheels have also to enable a rotation of the total robot around the z-axis.
