Project 09

High-Impact Robotics Camera Cover

Problem
Needed a compact cover that could securely hold the camera and prevent it from being damaged.
Solution
Used an arch shape to distribute force to the sides and into the robot frame. The arch is slightly slanted forward so anything landing on it rolls forward off the robot.
Outcome
Learned how to make robust, reliable designs for sensitive equipment.

Design

The arched shell protects the camera from impacts while the mounting base keeps it tied into the robot.
