Mechanical & Mechanisms
Chassis, drivetrain, game-piece mechanisms, material choices and manufacturing decisions will be documented with CAD and test data.
Season data will be addedFrom problem to prototype and from testing to results: an engineering log where Hypium transparently documents technical decisions and lessons learned.
Open Engineering is designed to document not only what Hypium builds, but why a solution was chosen, how it was tested and what was learned from failures.
Define game requirements and real-world constraints.
Generate alternatives, define criteria and move the selected ideas into CAD.
Test the most critical assumptions with rapid prototypes.
Collect and compare measurable performance data.
Clearly record the decision, result and next iteration.
Chassis, drivetrain, game-piece mechanisms, material choices and manufacturing decisions will be documented with CAD and test data.
Season data will be addedPower distribution, motor controllers, sensors, wiring standards and reliability checks will be published here.
Season data will be addedDrive architecture, sensor use, autonomous routines, testing approach and code decisions will be shared through clear technical notes.
Season data will be addedModel revisions, part relationships, weight and manufacturability assessments will be archived with visuals.
Season data will be addedFor every important design decision, we will record alternatives and test results so the answer to “why did you do it this way?” remains available even after the season.
