Staring to build
This class period, we started where we left off. During the beginning of class, we had nothing but a platform with the four motors and wheels attatched to it.
We needed to attatch them both together using shorter pieces chambers.
we built a C shaped chamber (the one to the left) to attatch the platforms together.
Attatched base without wheels
this was the final product once both sides of the robot were attatched with the short chambers.
We decided to make theopen part of the channels face the inside of the robot so we could add attatchments easily.
This also made it easier to attatch the channels.
Drive train with wheels
We added omni-directional wheels to the design so the robot could smoothly perform turns.
The four wheel drive allows us to travel over objects easily.
Battery Platform
We needed to attatch the battery to the robot
to do this, we added a platform using the L shaped pieces to the side of the robot
this allowed us to easily reach the Control Hub with the battery while keeping the battery out of the way for attachments.
To stablize the battery, we added velcro.
Attatching the Control Hub
To attatch the control Hub, we ran into several issuues
When we first attempted, we realized that we had placed the bars too far away from each other to hold the hub.
Then we attempted to add another platform to make them closer together. the issue here was that we couldnt attatch a long one that went to both ends because the battery was in the way.
To combat this, we decided to add to the platform we already had which resulted in an uneven surface.
We finally decided to place the Hub more to the side of the robot using a thin, metal rod. (pictured to the left) We will anchor the Hub sideways on it.
We began to do this, but because it is not a Gobuilda Control hub, we needed REV screws to attatch it, but ran out of time to find them.
