Welcome to the miniglider wiki!

This is the first project of the Maritime Robitics Student Society (MRSS).

It is based on the glider design from: http://www.seaglide.net/blog

Changes we are making to the design

• Add some sort of connection for USB to the outside, so we can attach a short wire for testing.
• Different bottle

Parts we already have

• Arduino micro (CapneriK)
• Continuous rotation servo (FatManSteamboat or Baaswex)
• shrinkwrap, wiring, pushbutton switch *2 (CaperniK)
• 9 Volt snap connector (CaperniK)
• pair of lipo battery connectors (CaperniK)
• proto board (CaperniK)
• 10 kOhm potentiometer (CaperniK)
• 5 Ohm resistor (CaperniK)
• 3 colours LEDs (smaria)
• pre resistors for LEDs (CaperniK)
• pin headers (CaperniK)
• bottle (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aladdin-Papillon-Water-Bottle-Recycled-Materials-Water-Keeper-Camping-Equipment-/351059378168?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=620288351068&hash=item51bcc4fff8)

Parts that are obvious

• 9 V battery (smaria)

Parts we are going to order and have a supplier for

Part that still need attention

Buoyuancy Engine

ca. 100 ml surringe

The plunger needs to be solid, not only a rubber ring, since it is the part that the weights get fitted to.

Weight	diameter	length	volume	cost	url
77g	3.5 cm	17.5	100 ml	£ 1.9	ebay

BB pellets

These need to have a good ratio of weight vs. diameter. |Weight|diameter|cost|No. of pellets |url| |0.3g | 6mm | £17| 2000 |www.amazon.co.uk/Bulldog-Pellets-Weight-Premium-Airsoft/dp/B00BGN9FP6|

Alternative Ideas: Sand. Washers.

Washers might be the best solution!

3d printed parts

depend on surringe

• attachment to servo
• attachment to plunger rubber bit + container for BB's if we use them

Bolts and screws

depends on surringe

• big bolt to go into surringe
• 3 small screws to attach to servo motor

Bottle, Ballasting, Wings

Ballasting, Wings depends on bottle
