Agenda
• Selected Concept● Vertical Traverse● Horizontal Traverse● Camera/Light Mounting● Microcontroller Selection● Functional Block Diagram● Self Leveling Pseudo-code● User Interface
Vertical Traverse Overview
● 5 stage telescoping mast
● Collapsed Height: 5’4”
● Extended Height: 20’
● Delrin sliders at joints
● Estimated Total Weight: 150 lbs
● Estimated Total Cost: $2000 + Driveline
2
Preliminary Analyses
● Static solid body analysis of fully-extended mast
● FEA of sliders● FEA of uprights
3
Vertical Traverse - Next Steps
• Pulley/Cable System
• Incorporate Friction from Sliders
• Drive System
• Dynamic Analysis
• FEA of Connecting Bars
• Adjustable Limit Switches

Horizontal Traverse
9
● V-groove track system● Track lengths: 6’, 3’, and 1’● Vertex to vertex: 4’2”● Manual leveling feet ● Estimated Cost: $400
Horizontal Traverse - Next Steps
• Reduce track deflection
• Improve cross-bracing
• Connection system
• “Roller Coaster” wheel system
• Generate other track lengths
• End section
• Design cart

Camera/Light Mounting
12
● Vertical slides mounted to the “double rail” of the inner stage.
● Vertical and Horizontal Lighting Mounts
● Lighting is capable of rotating 90º and extending linearly from the rig
● Camera Mounting surface using linear motion slides.
● Camera is able to move 1’ linearly (forward and back)
Camera & Lighting - Next Steps
• Vertical slider analysis and FEA modeling
• Lighting hinge analysis.
• Hardware selection
• Safety system for lighting rotation.
• Obtain lighting and mounting hardware for prototype system
