KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) I know you have heard it many many times, but in my opinion it's the truth.
Ask them what they want the bot to do. - Give them a list of different things it WILL do ie. follow white line How do they want to accomplish the task. - Pick up box ie. side clamp, "hands", conveyer... Always ask them to explain how and why advantages and disadvantages. - "hands" that would open with a scissor motion to grap 1 box at a time because it will make the build process easier for us and will help on weight. the disadvantage is that you can only do 1 box at a time. Also build a box that is the size of the max dimensions. This will show them just how small the bot will be and usefull when it comes to checking your final size. hope this helps.
