My Mobot for the 2010 Mobot race has finally been completed. I have tested it electrically, so I know that part works (all of the sensors!). I’m working on writing code for the race (just over a week away!). I’ll add more pictures and talk about progress as it’s made. Hopefully I’ll get some video of it in action!
Last Friday I spent a decent amount of time working on the mobot for this year. I was able to get the chassis mostly complete. I need to mount the electronics and I still need to build the sensor array. But other than that, construction is mostly complete. I would really like to add a cover over it (in the case that it would rain on race day) using vacu-formed plastic. The robotics club has a vacu-former, so I’ll probably give it an attempt.
I still need to finish some soldering for the sensors, but, for the most part, I’m done. Here are some pictures:
