WHEEL/STABILIZERS
We put stabilizers on either side of our robot to keep it from tipping over.
We moved the ball inward to decrease our turn radius so our robot would stay on the board.
BUMPERSAdded bumpers to the front of our robot to keep objects from getting stuck under our wheels.
SENSORS
We moved our sonar sensor from the back of our robot and placed it in the front above the light sensor.
SENSORS CONT.By putting our light sensor at a steeper angle it gave us a more precise reading.
OFFENSIVE MECHANISMWe attached the spinning motor on the side of our robot and used it for our weapon.
Originally we had 4 blades that would spin but our weapon was not giving us enough range to hit the targets.
We decreased our blades down to two and added stabilizers to make our blades stronger.
OFFENSIVE MECHANISM
We added extra beams to our two blades that would increase the blade length giving us a larger range.
We put independently spinning beams on the ends of our blades. + We also added a second supporting branch to attack.
TARGET HOLDEROur first design held the target too tight so we had to add spacers between our original design.
