Dimension Engineering has only been utilized for some specific that cannot be purchased at other retailers. For example, the 5V switching regulator was a piece that was specifically developed by Dimension Engineering. Therefore, the only place to order this product was on their website. This was the best regulator that was found within our price range for the proposed system. 4. Related Standards and Design Constraints In this section, there are several different standards that will be used in order to make this project successful. There are some related standards out in the market, it is important to compare these standards in order to be able to prove that the project is safe, usable and stable. This section will explore the different types of standards that are related to our project as well as discuss the possible design constraints that this project may face. 4.1. Standards Research For related standards research, there are plenty of standards that can be compared to this project. In this section, one standard is researched through details and analyzing so there is a better sense of how to read and use a standard and a table is provided for the other standards that can be researched and used. The first related standard for our project is an IEEE standard denoted - “1873-2015 IEEE Standard for Robot Map Data Representation for Navigation.” One of the methods that the battlebot robot in our project will implemented is the use of 2D mapping. Therefore, this related standard can be used and compared to the robot project. Although this topic is very broad, the standard provides a scope of what exactly is being standardized. This standard is used for defining terminologies related to 2D robot maps of navigation in indoor and outdoor environments. It also specifies a data model for each element and defines a format used to exchange this data among other computers and robots. The importance of this standard is to set a common representation for robot map data in a way that can allow an accessible use of software exchange among other robotic systems. This standard is used in order to expand the range of application and operational use among robots. There is also a section of definitions containing word definitions and mathematical definitions in order for the reader using this standard to understand the terms being presented as well as define specific words that makes following the standard less confusing. There are several tables in the standard, labeled M/O which defines how often a variable or element is to be used. M is for mandatory and O is for optional. There are also detailed descriptions for how to format the data between the different type of mapping such as metric and topological mapping.
