Robot Competitions Tutorial - Wall Maze Solving Robot 2

I think you have check out previous article.If not please read and get an idea about this tutorial series. Lets talk about the basic hardware parts of this robot.I said that this is my first competition so all the things are did for with try and faults. You can get better idea when i discuss the faults of this project then you can go to next level avoiding the faults.

This is the first prototype. We just attached the joints of the chassis with glue gun.
It is a major faults. What you want to do is use nuts and bolts to connect the joints. so it will be much strong.



Also we used simple plastic gear motors. These are not good because as the time the gear wheels can damage because of plastics.
I suggest metal gear motors. Its better because i can be load much good weight and also smooth with low speeds.


This is our initial gripper for this robot. It has many faults. Also it connected with glue.
For the main weight load point we used two mini servos. Now i suggest a medium level servo for that point.
In next post i will discuss more about grippers and next steps of this robot.

See you!
