Robot building
23/8/18
Today, Max and Nathan continued the construction of the new design for the robot. They added double wheels to the outside of the motors, and these were mounted to the front of the robot at an angle facing forwards, with the motors protruding in front of the robot itself. We noticed that the robot sagged outwards, so we added a support beam spanning between the two motors. This took some trial and error, but we mounted the shaft and also added some cogs to the design for cosmetic good measure. The back wheels were taken from the pervious NXT design, and modified slightly to better attach to the back of the NXT brick. The end result of today's lesson was a very capable and flexible base design, in the way that it can be modified and adjusted easily to suit almost any task and terrain.
