Design Overview
Chassis
Issues
- There was a possibility of being flipped into a diagonal where the wheels could not move
- Did not have clearance for inverted mode
- Switch was stripped due to being in a awkward position and supported by only wires
- Belt would easily slipped off due to no tension
- Weapon motor did not adjustable positioning
- The groove on the pulley was not deep enough
- Vertical weight savings being aligned with puzzle fit tap holes meant the armor was weak at those tap holes
- Not very maneuverable
- Too friction by the aluminum stand
- Not enough traction from the foam wheel
- Not enough drive motor power
- Back wheel drive meant imprecise forward movement(more testing)
- Center of gravity not being on wheel
