Last Thursday each team member arrived with some general ideas on the movement of the robot. We were pleased to have a few guests arrive to give us counsel on the feasibility of each team members thoughts. Jeremy and Scott have some experience in robotics through their college participation and both were able to give us good feedback and ideas on design direction.
We looked at the craters, the landing and the platform that our robot would have to maneuver over. We ended up choosing a dual track design with precision turning ability. We quickly put together a quick model using Scott's Mindstorm kit and sent Krishen home with the task of putting it together in LDD. The other four team members were to come prepared with the second important solution to the competition. Building a working lift to pick up each of the elements on the course.
Personally I was a
bit nervous on whether we would have a working design by Friday the 28th. Our team has come through time and time again.
