Some design concepts I would like to see in my robot are track wheels and two lego contraptions that are facing eachother horizantly that would pickup moon rocks. These are two links that have something similiar to my idea http://www.markpascua.com/wp-content/lego-robot-crab.jpg

The two lego contraptions that are facing eachother horizantly would be good to include because it could have a grasp the rock without dropping it.
The designing concepts that I believe we should use are tracks on our wheels and a backhoe plow. Link for backhoe: http://www.simpletractors.com/do_it/backhoe.htm
ReplyDeleteLink for tracks on wheels: http://www.gradingandexcavation.com/january-february-2010/compact-loader-comparison.aspx
I believe the wheels on tracks would be good to include beacsue it helps it do be abe to move around on a more sturdy ground. A backhoe would be good to use because it can carry more rocks, etc. more efficently.
I definitely think we should do the tracks (like on a tank). ~ http://www.gadgettastic.com/wp-content/2008/03/remote_camera_robot.jpg ~ They provide good traction and easy turning. I also think we should include the bucket arm. If we tilt it up after we pick things up, they won't drop out and it's very versatile. ~ http://www.1000steine.com/brickset/images/8260-1.jpg ~

ReplyDeleteSo we all agree on using tracks. I don't think the two legos facing eachother horizontaly would work correctly though. Any other ideas?
ReplyDeleteI think Annas idea of a backhoe is a really bad idea because the backhoe will drop the rocks, but we will be using the tracks since we all agree on that because like julia said it creates good traction and easy turning.
