We made some final touches to this and test drove it today. We still have the arm, pneumatics, and claw to put on it, all the custom parts for which we have and will assemble tomorrow.
The electrical tape is temporarily holding on the backup battery until we make a mount for it.
Someone was a tad bit bored...
Looking at it from the front. We have two omni wheels in the back, and two kitbot drive wheels in the front. It drives and turns pretty well, but has lowsey traction. We tested this with the extra battery sitting in the front for ballast when we ran it on carpet, and that improved it somewhat. We still have to attach 10 to 20 pounds of elevator, claw, and pneumatics on it.
I should also note that we seem to have a nasty habbit for having parts dissapear. First it was nuts and bolts off the frame, then a nut holding on a wheel collar, which we temporarily fixed with electrical tape, so who knows what will happen.
