building a robot... need some resources

[bobo244 10+ year member]

I have to write my design report for a robot we are building in one of my MAE classes.

Does anyone have any good sites with information on electric motors, gearboxes, pneumatics, 4 bar linkages, ball-screws, bearings, gears, etc. I would appreciate it, its a hard subject to search for.

If anyone cares, here is the link to the project for the robot we have to build. http://mae.ufl.edu/designlab/Class%20Projects/EML%202322L%20Design%20Problem%20for%20Summer%202006.htm

nothing major, just sophmore level classes.

Decals. Lots of decals.

No, j/k, actually I really have no clue where to find stuff, but I have a lot of friends in mechanical engineering that would probably do this for fun all the time. Google is your friend, and also don't forget to go to your local library and look up any videos that may have some useful info as well. Good luck.
