We have been doing well the past few weeks except for the fact that our robot is not fast enough. This is due to the fact that is a direct drive to small wheels. We cannot, as of now, complete all the missions in the 2:30 min. with this speed. Thus, we have done some remodeling. Below are our attempts and our current robot that has a 1:3 ratio with the wheels, making this robot three times faster.
Our first attempt skipped terriably, and was thus abbanded:
We tried to hold the chain in with other gears:
We then tried other ideas and came up with the robot we have now. This robot uses all three motors to drive. Two motors are used to drive the robot foward and backwards; one for each half. This has the added benifit that the robot can now curve in two directions.
