Title: My contest robot (Google sketchup 3D only)
Post by: sotu on June 06, 2007, 07:09:39 AM

This is how im planning to build my SoR 2007 contest robot.

A little Fact about what ure looking at:
A hollow wood box as a chassie.
A robot head to add some character to the robot.
Painting at the 2 of the sides of the box to match the colour of the head.
2 Motors with 1 wheeled attached to each.
A front wheel able to turn every direction.
