Week 10 - Further Implementation/construction

The base of the robot has been settled, however our goal was to create a Robot that would not only follow a standard path, BUT also to aviod objects when it bumps into them.

Last week we created the base and the wheel/track sets for the robot, this week we played around and created the bumpers and light sensors. It was a challange as, we had to bring the bumpers up higher in order to accomodate space for the light sensor at the bottom.

After some time of "playing" around we've came up with a design, where the wheels and tracks are inter-changable, which means, if it is in door the user can leave it as small wheels and move as per normal, if the user wishes to take the cambot out side into the garden, the wheels can be removed and the tracks can be fixed onto it.

We've decided to scrap the old version 3 which we came up with last week, as the wheels are simply moving too fast.

And so enters version 4 with inter-changable wheels and bumpers with light sensor.
