Amaze PhaseOverviewIn this phase, you measure the speed of the drivetrain designed and built in the previousUnit 10: Drivetrain Design 2 > Build Phase. You then calculate the theoretical speed.Phase ObjectivesAfter completing this phase, you will be able to:■■Calculate theoretical speed of a given drivetrain.Explain the differences between the theoretical and measured speeds of a drivetrain.PrerequisitesBefore starting this phase, you must have:■■■Completed Unit 10: Drivetrain Design 2 > Think Phase.Completed Unit 10: Drivetrain Design 2 > Build Phase.Have an assembled drivetrain from Unit 10: Drivetrain Design 2 > Build Phase.Related phase resources are:■■■■■■Unit 1: Introduction to VEX and Robotics.Unit 4: Microcontroller and Transmitter Overview.Unit 5: Speed, Power, Torque, and DC Motors.Unit 6: Gears, Chains, and Sprockets.Unit 7: Advanced Gears.Unit 8: Friction and Traction.■Unit 9: Drivetrain Design 1.Required Supplies and SoftwareThe following supplies are used in this phase:SuppliesThe drivetrain built in the Unit 10: Drivetrain Design 2 > Build PhaseNotebook and pen4’x25’ of open floor spaceMasking tapeMeasuring tapeOne stopwatchOne calculatorAmaze Phase■27
