Design Methodology: Broadly speaking, design methodology can be seen as the development of the system that intends to perform certain functions. Therefore, to deliver the Warman robot, it is required that design methodology of the system be identified clearly. In regard to Warman robot, it needs to be based on specific dimension constraints. Furthermore, it needs to distribute concrete objects. Speculating upon robot system design and development, it becomes apparent that Warman project proceeds from the focus of the classical family of construction. Consequently, some fundamental steps must be taken into account throughout the development process. As for the initial step of elucidating the design methodology, it should be aimed at figuring out the needs for the demanded product. Significantly, the given issue will distinguish the constraints as well as other obstacles with reference to the design of a product. More important, it is mandatory to do an in-depth research into the design that could be applied for the robot during the Warman project. The study will incorporate the power system design, methods to manage the robot, necessary materials, etc. Numerous aspects of the robot, including the size restrictions cannot be disregarded when conducting the research. Then, the team should focus on some probable solutions. Team members must make stress upon the specification of ideas in accordance with each feature. For example, to delimitate the wheel share for the project, it is imperative to come up with several viewpoints, putting an emphasis on selecting the best one. Following the aforementioned procedures, a promising design that proceeds on the basis of the requirements as well as the constraints has to be selected. One has to be conscious that the reluctance to elaborate on the alternative design may have a negative effect on the Warman project. The offered design is to be approved by the Autodesk Inventor software; on the basis of this design, the robot’s movability will be determined. It is also important to investigate the dynamic motion of the system. After elaborating on the promising design, special attention needs to be paid to the prototyping; it actually has a strong connection to manufacturing the main parts for the robot to be equipped. The pivotal strategy within the field of part production must be 3D printing technique. Notably, 3D printing has been well construed at Deakin; one has to take into consideration the fact that the interaction between students and the staff itself will constitute the major step towards the improvement of practical skills among students. Designing the robot will give the chance to implement the control system in the robot. Owing to each of these stages, the product will gradually move to its completion phase. The design methodology, tightly linked to measuring the design along with the prototype, appears to be the next step to thoroughly consider. The final step stands out as the optimization of the product; it can be said that this step plays a crucial role in revealing any failures that prevent the product from functioning correctly. The step centers around the analysis of feedbacks received from the customers. Regarding Warman project, it is aimed at endowing team members with the comments from the technical staff and unit chairs. In sum, the design methodology encompasses problem definition, excursus into the project itself and concepts development, the best modifications to the final design, the process of developing prototype, an in-depth assessment of the robot, and making the most effective system. All the issues will undergo a detailed analysis throughout the further steps. 4. Background: Warman Competition is provided to student who are in their way to be engineers. Its goal is providing a sustainable environment for practicing engineering more professionally. Its vision is great for education in Australia. It has countless contracts with organizations, institutions and universities, Deakin is one of them. Firstly, Jhon Reizes had suggested to held Warman competition in 1987. As written the competition named Warman after Charles Warman. They are many organizers take the lead of the competition (Engineers Australia, 2015). Secondly, existence of the competition was for second year students in Australia. It is provided for engineering students to gain more practical experience in their subjects. Deakin university gets involved in the competition in 2014 (Engineers Australia, 2015).5. Team Commitment:6.
