This week the final rules got published which made us very happy. Now we can devote ourselves to fine-tuning the design. So, our smaller bot now definitely has its wheels in the middle of its side. We also calculated the pressure that will weigh on the ball casters. Furthermore we decided to place some of the ultrasonic sensors in a different angle on the bot in order to improve the measurements of the turning angle, so that ultimately we can prevent the bot from colliding with a subject in the arena.
Fortunately our software started being developed and we hope it will grow very fast from now on ;-).
We already started building some of the hardware and hope that the other components will arrive soon so that we will have enough time for extensive testing of the bot.
