Today we:

  • Finished the prototype’s wooden frame, except for the conveyor belt because we did not have enough surgical tubing
  • Attached the trailer hitch to the robot
  • Tested the robot with the trailer attached, consequently, turning the robot became much more difficult
  • Found that going backwards while attached to the trailer will be a challenge

More prototype brainstorming…

We tested out or robot with the full trailer attached, and found out that its turning ability was……less than satisfactory…
