Sweeper - Construction

Now, came time to put the ideas to the test. We got together and voiced out what we thought we be good to do. And the main idea we circled around was the idea of a sweeper like the street sweepers. But for the other two mediums it would be an issue. We came up with a sprinkler or spinner on the top of the robot to sprinkle out paint, rotating dabbers to simple just dab paper and glow in the dark paint for something different, and light grafitti. With thoughts like these in mind we moved quickly to create our robot.

However now came the job of having to attach the numerous motors to a single brain. But it couldn't be done. So obviously, having two groups we had two sets of brains to use and so we did To result in a large scale robot with one main piece and the other piece behind simply acting as a trailer.










However, many issues came about with the main one being the weight hindering the mobility greatly. Despite the presentation the robot couldn't do much if it wasn't able to move. So after a long days work we had to come to the decision yet again on what to do. That's when it called for another brainstorming of ideas and mixing of brains to come up with something unique that could work. But we still maintained the idea and consistency of the sweeper and rotating top throughout each thought.
