ENGINEERING

TECHNOLOGY

MATHEMATICS

Energy changes and transfers

Using simple mechanisms to give a larger force at the expense of smaller or slower

movements.

The word “engineering” comes from the

Latin ingenium meaning “cleverness”

and ingeniare meaning “to devise”.

Educational robotics uses two main

branches of engineering – mechanical

and electrical/electronic and requires

the application of maths, science and

experimentation to devise, test and

analyse solutions. Competition robotics

takes this a step further by giving a real

problem to solve and an environment in

which to test the solutions to the limit.

ElectronicsA robot requires sensors

to allow it to interact with

its environment as well as

motors to move, solenoids

to control pneumatics and

microcontrollers to process

the data.

Ratios and ProportionsRobot designs drawn

on paper may be at a

reduced scale and ideas

might be prototyped in

smaller sizes to test ideas

before building the full

scale robot.Gear ratios are used to

improve performance of

the robot – what is the

difference between a 3:1

gear ratio and a 1:3 gear

ratio? If using a 12 tooth

pinion, how many teeth

will the gear need to have

to achieve a 3:1 ratio?

Forces and Friction

In the case of the VEX

Robotics Competition and

VEX IQ Challenge, mobile

robots are used. For a robot

to be mobile, it needs to

have friction between its drive

wheels and the ground – too

little friction and it will slip,

too much and it won’t be able to turn.

Balanced forces - If your motor and mechanism can’t

provide the force required to lift a weight, can the

addition of counterbalances or elastic/springs assist?

Programming

The brain of the robot is

a microcontroller which

processes data received

from the sensors and

controls the actuators

such as motors and

pneumatics. A program

(code) needs to be

created which will form a

set of instructions or rules

for the robot to follow. To

make an effi cient robot,

the code needs to be

refi ned so that instructions

are executed quickly and

accurately.

Probability and

statisticsThe VEX competition

requires you to form

alliances with other teams

– statistics can help make

decisions about which

teams can complement

each other and be the

most effective alliance.

ElectricityHow much current is

required to run the motors

of the robot and how

does this change with the

loads being moved? Does

the battery have enough

capacity to run the motors

for long enough for the

tasks to be completed?

MaterialsIt is important to select

the correct materials for

the job – these could be

selected for a combination

of their strength, weight,

cost and availability.

Robotics provides a practical application for maths and shows how a number of the

fundamentals of maths can be used in the real world.

GeometryMechanisms on the

robot will require an

understanding of geometry

to ensure that parts move

correctly. It can also be

used to simplify designs

by using geometry to

move other parts of the

robot rather than by

adding motors.

1. WHAT IS SOLDERING?

Soldering is the joining together of two metals to give physical

bonding and good electrical conductivity. Solder is a combination of

metals, which are solid at normal room temperatures and become

liquid at between 180 and 230°C. Solder bonds well to various

metals, and extremely well to copper.

Soldering has many uses. It is used primarily to assemble electronic

components such as resistors, capacitors and IC’s onto printed circuit

boards. However, it can also be used to join wires, metals, and even

manufacture jewellery.

In electronics LEADFREE fl uxed core SOLDER is used.

This consists of approximately 99% Tin and 1% copper depending

on the brand of solder used. Sometimes a small percentage of

silver is added to soften the solder and reduce the melting point

temperature.

FLUX is an aggressive chemical that removes oxides and impurities

from the parts to be soldered. This ensures a good physical and

electrical joint is made. Fluxes enable good ‘wetting’ or ‘tinning’.

Wetting is a term that describes good adhesion of the solder to

the components being soldered. Tinning is a term that describes the

application of solder to the soldering iron tip, or to a component

being prepared for soldering.

2. SOLDERING IRON

These are the tools which heat the solder from room temperature

to its melting point. A modern basic electrical soldering iron consists

of the following:

The HEATING ELEMENT can be either a resistance wire

wound around a ceramic tube, or a thick fi lm resistance element

printed onto a ceramic base. The element is then insulated and

placed into a metal tube for strength and protection. This is

then thermally insulated from the handle. The element reaches

temperatures of around 370 to 400°C.

The SOLDERING BIT is a specially shaped piece of copper

plated with iron and then usually plated with chrome. Copper is used

for good thermal conductivity. Iron is very resistant to aggressive

solders and fl uxes. The bit then fi ts over or inside the heating

element dependant on the design of the soldering iron.

The HANDLE AND POWER CORD completes the soldering

iron. Various handle styles are available. The power cord is often

insulated with PVC. But, this can be damaged and melt if touched by

a hot soldering iron. Therefore silicone rubber insulated power leads

are extremely popular for long life and electrical safety.

3. IRON SELECTION

The strength or power of a soldering iron is usually expressed in

Watts. Irons generally used in electronics are typically in the range

12 to 25 Watts. The most popular irons for use in schools or for

hobbyist electronics are the 18 and 25-Watt versions.

It must be remembered that a 25-Watt iron will not run hotter

than a 12-Watt iron, but it will have more power available to quickly

replace heat drained from the iron during soldering. Therefore, the

bigger the component being soldered, the greater the need for

“quantity of heat”, the higher the power needed.

Most irons are available in a variety of voltages, 12V, 24V, 115V, and

230V are the most popular. You should always use a low voltage iron

where possible, as it is much safer.

As your soldering skills improve, you may work with temperature

sensitive devices such as integrated circuits. For these applications a

temperature-controlled soldering iron (TCS) should be used.

For bench work a soldering station may be used. This incorporates

temperature selection, optional digital temperature readout, 24V

transformer, an iron holder, and a sponge, all within a neat bench unit.

4. PREPARATION1. If using multi-stranded wire such as 7/0.2 equipment wire, twist

the strands together and tin the end of the wire.

2. Bend the lead to fi t the position on the PCB. Do not bend too

close to the component body as damage to the component

may occur.3. If the component is temperature sensitive use a pair of pliers as a

heatsink between the component body and the point to

be soldered.4. Tin the site where the component is to be soldered.

5. SOLDERING

1. Switch on the soldering iron and feed solder to the tip of the

iron as it heats up.2. Wipe off excess solder onto a damp sponge

3. Place the hot iron on the component lead and the PCB pad.

Feed the solder into the far side of the component lead . Solder

will begin to fl ow around the lead. Do not use too much solder.

4. Next remove the solder source followed by the iron.

5. Do not disturb the component for a few seconds until the solder

has solidifi ed.6. Trim the component leads to within 1mm of the soldered joint.

6. TAKE CARE

1. Plan the component layout.2. Mount the smallest components fi rst.

3. Try to leave component identifi cation markings visible

4. Support heat-producing components above the PCB with

ceramic beads.5. Keep soldering time to a minimum to reduce the risk of heat

damage to the component.6. Beware of solder bridging across tracks. This could cause a

short circuit.7. If working with static sensitive components always use a wrist

strap connected to an earthing point.

7. CHECK YOUR WORK

1. Are all of the components in place?

2. Are all of the soldered joints neat and tidy?

3. Is there too much or too little solder on the joint?

4. Has the solder fl owed evenly around the lead?

5. Is the solder joint nice and shiny?6. Are all components inserted the right way around?

SOLDERING

8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONIn common with all tools, a soldering iron will last longer with correct care and maintenance.

1. Always wipe the bit on a damp sponge prior to making a soldered joint. Most bench stands incorporate a sponge

for this purpose.2. Always apply solder to the bit of an iron as it heats up. This will ensure good tinning and long life of the bit.

3. A solder bit that will not wet can be cleaned by lightly rubbing the bit with a nylon pad. Ensure the iron is switched

off and do not use wire wool or emery paper as this will remove protective plating and shorten the bit life.

4. Always keep a hot iron in a bench stand.

5. Never put a soldering iron into liquid.

6. Regularly check the cable for burns. Alternatively use an iron that is supplied with silicone cable which is resistant

to burns from the soldering iron.

It is sometimes necessary to remove a component from a PCB. To desolder a component melt the solder around

the component with a soldering iron. When the solder fl ows remove the molten solder with a desolder pump.

Replace the iron in a stand and allow the component to cool for a few seconds. Carefully remove the component

from the holes in the PCB.

temperature-controlled soldering iron (TCS) should be used.

For bench work a soldering station may be used. This incorporates

temperature selection, optional digital temperature readout, 24V

transformer, an iron holder, and a sponge, all within a neat bench unit.
