Assignment title: Information
zip file containing a folder named “SWARXX <Team Name> Warman CAD Assembly”
This must be uploaded to Preliminary Submission box in the Major Project section.
In this folder should be your final assembly CAD file and all the parts required for this assembly. If you don’t include
the parts the assembly will not work. Use the “pack-and- go” feature in Solidworks. Your main assembly file should
have “00” at the start of the name so it lists at the top and we get the right one. Please double check that this file
unzips properly and your assembly still works and has all the part references maintained. Consider using colours or
textures to differentiate parts and make it look realistic. The zip file should have the same name as the folder. You
should include your team’s accurate model of both sections of the track. We would like to see 3 versions of the
device shown in this assembly. The first version should be shown in your chosen starting position within the start zone
under the ROM Bin. The second version of the device should be shown around the Waste Receival Bin, in the act of
depositing any balls (preferably Waste), if you plan to do that. The third version of the device should be shown at a
location around the Ore Receival Bin, in the act of depositing any balls (preferably Ore).
Each version of each device is best done as a separate sub-assembly which you can insert multiple times (and modify
slightly if needed) in the master assembly (with the track). The final built device can and probably will differ from this
design, there is no requirement to build exactly what you have drawn in CAD. Given your experience level, we would
recommend you build and test early and then CAD the prototypes that result. Historically speaking they tend to be
much different from your first guesses. Think carefully about how you might build your device and the materials and
manufacturing limitations you will face. If you can anticipate these it will be easier to build.
2 - A single PDF file named “SWARXX <Team Name> Warman Renders.pdf”
This must be uploaded to Preliminary Submission box in the Major Project section.
Using PhotoView360 rendering (an add-in in SW) generate 3 separate orthogonal views and 1 isometric view of your
Device in EACH of the 3 configurations (start zone under ROM Bin, around the Waste Receival Bin and when you
finish your run at the Ore Receival Bin). We need to see your device at these locations on the competition track. So at
least 12 pictures. Compile these rendered images in Word or Powerpoint (preferred) document, with 1 image per
page, and then save it as a PDF at decent resolution. They don’t need to be aligned on the one page like in a 3 rd angle
projection. Then, please add any additional detail, zoomed in views you think are necessary to show important
features of your design. The more of your design we can see clearly and easily, the more marks we will give you.
Please try for the order requested for consistency. We will mark based mainly on the renders (quicker) and only
inspect the actual CAD model if we have to, due to missed views or ambiguous design (slow and annoying). So ensure
that the renders give us as much information as possible. Try to impress us. Use this as a great opportunity to
rigorously assess the viability of your design. The more you have built and tested the easier this process will be. The
best examples from 2013 have been posted to Moodle for you to review, and potential repurpose any common CAD
models from.
