Here is a sketch. It's not as worked out in terms of some things (like the height of the tread and wheel diameter, the brace and where the motors that power the wheels and the belt would sit, but say what. It's a start. We have about two months to work on this, after which we will race with other designs/robots built, and do a presentation on each of our robots/ building, etc. I like this class a lot. I think I'll really like the board building/repairing class, also. It's very fun to see it come alive, and even more fun to see everything just work.
Good that you're exploring different designs to see what might work best. Seems like you guys are still in the brainstorm phase so its best to explore right? SO COOL. I too love that moment when things come to life. In happens in my auto class too. We'll be working on a car for 2 hours and then the moment of truth with come where its time to turn it on and see if what we did worked..Its really rewarding when you hear the engine roar to life and also kinda heartbreaking when things don't work. But either way there's that excitement that you are giving something life, or bringing it back to life. Cheers!!
