May 1, 2026In May 2026, delivered two core chassis features for UBC-Snowbots/Chassis: Rack and Pinion integration with testing artifacts and the Emergency Stop (E-stop) system design and safety refinements. The work focused on enabling hardware-in-the-loop validation, safety-critical functionality, and design verification through CAD-driven artifacts. Key outcomes include CAD assembly files for rack-and-pinion testing, E-stop CAD/slicing refinements, and dimensional updates to critical components (e.g., 7mm middle screw) to ensure robust, compliant operation. These efforts reduce integration risk, accelerate test readiness, and strengthen chassis safety and reliability.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026 – UBC-Snowbots/Chassis: Key delivery across mechanical, sensing, power, and safety domains. Consolidated MiniRover Core Mechanical Assemblies, delivering standardized components (MOVELATERE-stopmount, ball joints, Connecting Rods, Base Plate, MiniBogieFrame, MiniDifferential System, and related updates), enabling faster iteration and reliable integration. Implemented GPS and IMU modules for in-system sensing, plus DriversBusbarPlate_MiniRover for robust power distribution. Updated URDF/assembly models with UpdatedMiniRoverBaseplate, UpdatedMiniRover, UpdatedMiniRover2.urdf, and URDF variants (V8) to improve simulation-to-deployment alignment. Expanded suspension geometry with new parts (d-profile collar clamps, suspension DXF, coordinate system enhancements) and updates to MOVELATERE-stopmount and PanelMountBearing. Conducted suspension testing, fixed lever in the E-Stop mechanism, and delivered safety enhancements including E-Stop Mount, clamps, split holder and updated differential clamp, plus sliced models for E-Stop components. Merged main branch into batch to synchronize workstreams.
