Parts Used:

  • Arduino Uno
  • Mini Breadboard
  • Cut and shaped Lexan body
  • x2 Faulhaber Gearmotors
  • x2 Plastic wheels
  • x6 Rechargable AA batteries
  • x4 IR sensors / transmittors
  • various resistors, wires, RGB LED, and capacitor

.

First designed on Google Sketch-Up using real measurements. My biggest problem was fitting the batteries in. Only later did I realize it wouldn’t have hurt to stack them and simply make my robot taller. If I compete again next year I will definitely change this design quite a bit.

The current final product. Still may change a few things though.
I’ll update with more design details when I get a chance.
