DESIGN IDEA NO. | OBJECTIVE | SCORE GIVEN | JUSTIFICATION |
---|---|---|---|
02. | SOWING SEEDS. | +10 | This concept design has a digging component and a planting component fused together which further has 4 separate channels for inserting the seeds and thus is better than the DATUM which doesn't feature these in its design. |
02. | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION WITH WIDE RANGE AND NON-CONVENTIONAL REMOTE CONTROL. | -9 | NFC applied in this concept design has a shorter range of access than ZigBee used in DATUM. |
02. | ALL-TERRAIN DRIVE. | -8 | This concept design has extended shafts and thin wheels which will make the entire structure highly vulnerable to toppling and body damage and also cause inefficiency in movement in tough terrains thus making DATUM a more preferable choice which uses closely attached track drives. |
02. | GOOD STORAGE AND ENDURANCE. | -7 | This concept design has the storage unit placed at center which will pose difficulty in placing other components of the robot and due to its position the capacity will also be limited to the size of the body thus making DATUM a better choice which uses a side mounted storage unit. |
02. | BUDGET. | +12 | This concept design uses relatively less, simple and manual components thus making it a better choice than DATUM which has a lot of automated components. |
DESIGN IDEA NO. | OBJECTIVE | SCORE GIVEN | JUSTIFICATION |
---|---|---|---|
03. | SOWING SEEDS. | +10 | This concept design features a shaker and a separate mechanical instrument for digging thus making it better than DATUM which doesn't have these in its design. |
03. | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION WITH WIDE RANGE AND NON-CONVENTIONAL REMOTE CONTROL. | -9 | Response Time of Bluetooth used in this concept design is greater than ZigBee used in the DATUM thus making DATUM a more preferable choice. |
03. | ALL-TERRAIN DRIVE. | 0 | Both of the concept designs feature the track drive system thus making them equivalent in this field. |
03. | GOOD STORAGE AND ENDURANCE. | -7 | Although both of the concept designs involve the same side mounted storage units, the presence of shaker in the storage unit of this concept design relatively and considerable reduces the storage capacity thus making DATUM a more favorable choice. |
03. | BUDGET. | DATUM | This concept design uses manual and mechanical components for performing most of the functions thus making it a better choice than DATUM which has a lot of automated components. |
DESIGN IDEA NO. | OBJECTIVE | SCORE GIVEN | JUSTIFICATION |
---|---|---|---|
04. | SOWING SEEDS. | +30 | This concept design features different separate mechanisms to exclusively perform a specific task of the robot in a rhythm with other systems like the Robotic Arm, the Rack And Pinion Bucket and the Earth Auger thus making it highly efficient than the DATUM which has a combined and compressed mechanism for performing these tasks and thus this concept design is more favorable than DATUM. |
04. | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION WITH WIDE RANGE AND NON-CONVENTIONAL REMOTE CONTROL. | +9 | This concept design features Wi-Fi which has a considerably larger range of access than ZigBee used in DATUM thus making it a better option than DATUM in this field. |
04. | ALL-TERRAIN DRIVE. | 0 | Independent Wheel Drive system or IWD used in this concept design is very much similar to the track drive system used in the DATUM thus making them equivalent in this field. |
04. | GOOD STORAGE AND ENDURANCE. | +7 | This concept design features a separate and leveled storage unit thus providing with greater space to accommodate more seeds than the side mounted storage unit used in the DATUM thus making it a better option then the DATUM in this field. |
04. | BUDGET. | -42 | These concept design characterizes many individual and highly automated components as compared to the relatively simple and compound mechanisms used in the DATUM and due to this fact this concept design is very much expensive than the DATUM thus making the DATUM a more preferable choice in this field. |
