4768 A-J Make It Real CAD Engineering Challenge, Sponsored by Autodesk by Joel Ward and John Siy For this years online challenge we have decided to develop a 3-d printed pin clip that is low cost and would save time and effort in a team’s yearly build. This part and it’s design would protect motor and sensor pins from bending and breaking. One variation is a sleeve that goes over a motor and motor controller connection. We believe that motor pins breaking are one of the most occurring problems through robot construction. Breaking motor pins are a huge hassle because teams have to replace the small pins or just throw away the motor completely. Our final variation of a motor pin sleeve solves this common problem. While protecting motors from detaching from motor controllers and keeping motors safe from destruction, it is also saves a lot of money.
