Progress of the Project
There have been two failures before the final product of this BioBrick-A-Bot. We call this final product as Model C, and here we show Model A and B.
Model A
Model A used 2D Polar Coordinates system and tried from 7/8/2009 to 8/6/2009
Features
Good Features
- Simple idea
Neutral Features
- Radial Coordinate System(CS)
- Can be argued as bad, since the 96-well plate well CS is difficult to convert to the Radial Coordinate System.
- No programs
Bad Features
- Top-Heavy
- Front-Heavy:topples easy
- Small motor errors leads to big well errors
- The NXT Brick on the base is difficult to get out.
- Can get stuck easily.
Base(Platform)
- Arm Complex
- 96-well plate holder(1 needed)
- Attach the position 1 of a 15-brick to the position 1 of a 13 brick.
- attach the position 1 of a 13-brick to the position 15 of the 15-brick.
- Attach a 15-brick to the position 11's of the two 13-bricks.(It should make it look like a parallelogram with
- Double Arms(2 needed)
- Arms(4 needed)
- Attach the position 1 of an 11-brick to the position 11 of another 11-brick.
- Numbering goess from top to bottom.
- Attach the position 5 of an arm to the position 1 of a 15-brick.
- Attach another arm's position 5 to the position 15 of the 15-brick.
- Numbering: Left arms are labeled as with a prime before(like '3, plural like '1's), right arms have a prime after (like 3', plural like 1"s), and the 15-brick is labeled as before.
- Arms(4 needed)
- Attach the left leg(end) of a plate holder to the '1's of two double arms(one above, one below).
- Attach the other leg to the 1"s of the double arms.(There isn't any choice for whether to put it above or below).
- 96-well plate holder(1 needed)
- NXT Brick Complex (1 needed)
- NXT Brick Sub-Complex (1 needed)
- Attach the 2-Sensor-Hole position of an NXT Brick to the 2-position of a 13-brick.
- Attach the 5-Sensor-Hole position of the NXT Brick to the 2-position of another 13-brick.
- Nxt-Brick numbers as before, the 13-brick on the 2-Sensor Hole position is the same with a prime before, and the other 13-brick has a prime after.
- Attach the 4-hole of a 11-brick to the '12 hole of the NXT Brick Subcomplex, and the 8-hole of the 11-brick to the 12'hole of the Subcomplex.
- Attach the 1-hole
- NXT Brick Sub-Complex (1 needed)
Pipet Holder
- Crossbeams(2 needed):
- Attach the center of an H-Bracket to position 2 of a 9-brick.
- Attach another H-bracket to the 9-brick in position 5.
- Put the crossbeams such that the H-Brackets are aligned.
3. Attach two 9-bricks to the H-brackets, on the positive side of the other 9-bricks.(hole-hole) 4. Attach a black H with a +-shaped hole in it to the 8,9 position on a non-crossbeam 9-brick. 5. Push a 12-rod through the +-shaped hole. 6. Put the following onto the rod: a rod-blocker, two worm-toothed gears(aligned), and another rod blocker.

Model B
Model B used 3D Cartesian Coordinates system. It was built and tested from 8/6/2009 to 8/26/2009
Here are the pictures of the Model B
* Three racks, connected to three motors to position the pipet head.
* Motors on brick: From top to bottom, 1. Compression pumps for cleaning pipet, and 2. Pneumatic control for sucking/expelling liquid.
