100 Days of Onshape
About: 100 Days of Onshape is a collection of youtube videos created and posted by LearnItDoItMakeIt. In these videos, the CAD program "Onshape" is explained and taught. The first video starts by explaining the basic tools in the part studio, including sketch and extrude. Slowly throughout these videos, almost all tools, buttons, and features of Onshape are explained thoroughly. There are currently 64 videos in the playlist and they are more in the process of being made.
How We Use It: Newer members of Code Sisters are introduced to all parts of the team. They get experience in building, coding, and CAD. This allows members to find their passion. Code Sisters uses the first few videos to introduce these new members to the tools in Onshape, the CAD system we use. For those that decide CAD is for them, the rest of the videos explain some of the more complex features in detail.
Progression of Team Shipping Element
This year, Code Sisters went with a cone design, to avoid a similar appearance to freight. We also added customization in the form of ‘Code Sisters’ written in different ways. For more detail, see Engineering Notebook Entries.
VI.2
Design: Added code sisters on the flat section (both normal and morse code version). This took a lot of calculations. Specs: Angle of Cone - 25.313 deg. Height in total - 70 mm. Height of first angled section - 20 mm. Height on flat section - 16 mm. Height of second angled section - 54 mm. Diameter of base - 75 mm. Diameter of top - 5 mm. |

Goal: CAD the pinion, pinion motor, & servo for Collection Box
Process:
Moving Forward: CAD the servo |
progression of: Collection box
progression of: sweeper
Goals: CAD the intake sweeper
Process:
Process:
- Download the parts
- Cut the x-rod to exact measurements in a separate document
- Find the exact holes used by the builders
- Put mate-connectors on the place where the holes were drilled for screws on the real robot
- Attach the parts of the sweeper
- CAD the motor
- The flat bracket used by the builders is not on Onshape, and they don’t know where it is from.
- No substitute has been found that fits what we need it to
- No substitute has been found that fits what we need it to
- The builders drilled somewhat random holes in the x-rod for screws. Onshape needs specifics
