Six bodies are in the mechanism if we include the block sliding within the window. Sliding motion constrains the block within the window (-2DOF). There are also 7 full pin joints (-2DOF each). Finally, there is traction between the pinion and the sector gear6*3-2-7*2-1=1.Source: Fig. 4-31 in Suh, C. H. Computer Aided Design of Mechanisms Part A. Self-published book, 1989.

The vehicle will be operated by two servomotors that can continuously rotate the output shafts that attach directly to wheels on the left and right sides of the vehicle. The manufacturer’s specifications indicate each servo is capable of a no load speed of 50 rpm and a stall torque of 0.3 N*m (similar to the specs of the HS-311 standard servos in the kit). The total vehicle weight along with its payload is 12 N (a little more than the weight of a liter of water). All the wheels have a radius of 6cm. The front and rear axles are 20cm apart. The center of gravity of the vehicle and payload is halfway between the front and rear wheels and is 3cm above the surface on which the vehicle runs. NOTES: A solution with any value of weight is fine, as long as you really explain what happens.Give some thought to the forces on the “free” (not driven) wheelsSensors• Contact (mechanical)• Proximity (optical)• Range (acoustic)• Force (piezo)Images removed due to copyright restrictions.

In this discussion, the term displacement may refer to a translation or a rotation, and the term force to a force or a
