we took the magnets out of the try and used those to attach the bot to the poll. We plan on using a 4 poll switch (if I remember the name correctly) to turn our robot off and a KOP limit switch to turn it on. |
Our minibot is made out of some of the aluminum provided in the KoP, 2 wheels, a motor, the battery pack, a touch sensor from the KoP, and a single neodymium magnet. The touch sensor switch thingy is in front of the minibot, so that when the magnet attaches our bot to the pole, the trigger is pushed in, and electricity from the battery flows to the motor, powering the top wheel. It's our first minibot, and we're trying to make another one. Below is a picture of it.
