With four of us involved we're doing bits in parallel, but one blog, so here's some other progress on the chassis. I must take a picture for next time because this is being built as I write.
This is the fundamental chassis, which is in two parts, primarily for the fourth challenge, The Farmyard Tours, where we think a bit of suspension might come in handy. Currently its a big wheel robot, getting it's speed from lower rotation motors that are easier to control, though we may switch to stepper motors in the future, it's not planned yet. We do have to keep in mind the 500mm/s average competition speed.
The next picture is bulking the design out a bit, again subject to change, but taking shape.
The wheels are 3D printed and have now been covered in a rubber solution to give them grip.
