We got the control system all setup, and we had a successful “smoke test”, and got the wireless router and gaming bridge set up with the driver station.

The base has been nearly completed, all 4 wheels have been installed, along with 2 of the 4 chains.


After the base was completed, we duct taped a sheet of masonite onto the frame just so we could mount and test out the electronics and software.

Based on the obviously poor performance of the robot, we came up with a different design.
