Christening of Multiple Application General Autonomous robot, Rita, with snowplow attachment. Consider this for entertainment purposes only, not a reflection of MAGA-Rita’s actual potential. My wife even suggested that we go to the front sidewalk, but as soon as the camera was turned off and my videographer wife left, Rita got to real work removing several inches of wet snow on top of hard pack (ice) from my driveway. Then she performed the same task on the front sidewalk, all the way from the edge of my neighbor’s driveway, to the opposite end of my own portion of sidewalk; 50 to 60 feet, down to pavement–of course, none of that was caught on camera! So, she has the weight, the thrust and the blade angle to tackle even packed snow.

Her performance in the clip is reflective of the learning curve of my own dexterity. I still have a lead thumb which will with practice become more delicate, more precise in maneuvering the joystick. Since that thumb is paralyzed, the learning curve will be steep, but not insurmountable. It’s February, with Arctic Clippers, Siberian Expresses, marginal Lake Effects from Michigan and Erie, the longest month of the year, despite calendar limitations. There’s plenty of snow yet to come, plenty of practice ahead. The next video will give a more complete picture of her actual performance.

To Evatech, Rita’s makers:

Modifications.
Flasher. The ‘party hat’ is a broken Cree LED forehead lamp in strobe mode and covered with a plastic pill bottle

Counterweight. I clamped and zip-tied a 10lb dumbbell to her tail boom as a counterweight to the plow. The weight is wrapped in old socks to protect the powder coat. The clamps hold the weight to the boom, the zip-ties keep the weight parallel to her chassis.

Hitch pins. As an experiment, I replaced the nuts and bolts on the angle adjustment with cotterless hitch pins to speed the process of changing blade angle. Next time, I’ll try it with nuts and bolts and wrenches to compare results. I might start carrying wrenches in my pocket when I clear snow.

Inside this video, you can see full detailed modeling process of this 3-D Parametric CAD Model through SolidWorks Software.

Transcription of Video
……………………………………………………………………
Start a new Part file in SolidWorks.
Activate the ‘Revolved Boss/Base’ tool from the (Features toolbar) and select the Front Plane in the design window.
Draw the sketch profile by using the line and Offset Entities tool with the dimensions displayed onwards.
Exit from the sketching environment and select the axis line to create the revolve feature.
Change the model color to polished steel.
Save the part file with the name BearingLocknut Washer.
Activate the ‘Extruded Cut’ tool and select the bottom face of part.
Draw the sketch as displayed along with the dimensions.
The sketch is now Fully Defined, exit from the sketch, the Extrude Cute command is automatically activated.
Right click in the design window and choose ‘Through All’ option.
Open the visibility of temporary axis of the part.

Define Axis of the pattern and Number of Instances as 13 in the specified input boxes.
Click Ok to execute the ‘Circular Pattern’ tool.
Activate Extrude Boss/Boss Feature and define the sketch plane for creating the sketch profile, as we did earlier.
Finish the sketch to activate the Extrude command.
Right click in the design window and choose ‘Mid Plane’ option, define the depth and execute command.
Add the fillets on the top and rear edge of the Boss-Extrude-1 feature as displayed.
