Re: Week 3: Where's your robot?
Chassis material bought and cut to length but still needs lots of machining and then welding. The transmission design is virtually complete. All the transmission parts are ordered and on their way. The transmission side plates and motor mount plates are all machined. Pillow blocks and gearbox standoffs are nearly done, just a few holes. We will start on wheels and gears hopefully by the end of this week. The arm is rough in CAD, and even rougher on paper. Parts ordering for the arm will begin on Wednesday. We need to figure out how to mount the arm to the frame. Programming team has put the camera on the olf robot and gotten it to chase people around. Still needs a good mount though.
