Robot |
Magnets |
To keep the robot attatched to the board. Not to tight so it is hard to move but should never fall off. |
|
Computer |
To manage position, commands, drawing, calibration etc. |
|
Connection |
With the remote, probably Wifi or Bluetooth depending on the battery lifetime. |
|

Depending on what works the fastest and makes less noise. Should also not interfere with the already written text. |
|
Battery |
Should cover about 8 hours. |

Elaboration |
Markers |
Black whiteboard marker |
Easy restockable markers for whiteboards. |
|
Red whiteboard marker |
The markers are installed on the side of the robot so it can be read faster. The ones not in use are not against the board and capped. |
|
Blue whiteboard marker |
|
|
White chalk marker |
Chalk markers for blackboards. These should be able to spin to make dots. |
Wiper |
Board wiper |
Also place on a side and can just like the markers be lifted from the board when not needed. |
|
Whiteboard cleaner |
Could be added to help clean the board better. |
Computer |
Speech to text |

|
Software |
Plot , draw amd callibrate equations, diagrams, graphs and other mathmetical functions. |
|
Memory |

Robot |
Size |
24x24x8 cm (LxWxH) |
|
Handle |
2 handles with a height of 3 cm and a bar at one side to recognise the top position. |
|
Magents |
A multiple of 4, Neodymium magnets, placed along the sides. Size and amount depending on force needed. |
|
Wheels |
2 sets of 2 omni wheels. Every set placed diagonally across and every set 90 degrees turned. |
|
|
This way, a set of 2 wheels diagonally oposite will be used to drive in a single direction and the other set is used to drive in the other direction. |
|
Motors |
Each wheel is connected to a stepper motor to precisely move the cart around and keep track of the position. |
|
Writer |
A stepper motor is used to precisesly drive a screwthreaded axle that moves the penholder in 1 dimensional direction. |
|
|
2 extra axles are used to guide the penholder block. |
|
Pen holder |
Holder is slightly tilted and has multiple holder shafts for markers. The holder can be rotated to select another marker. |
|
|
A servo in the block is used to rotate the markers. |
