Design Project Description

Team Design Project Part 2



Summary 

Working as a team - develop a chassis design that will allow for rapid and easy assembly of a mobile robot platform. The idea is that individuals could purchase a project kit of components (see below) and then select a chassis design that is best suited to their needs.

Your team's design may...
choose to "hide" most of the components within an enclosure;
or...
layout all the components such that they are easily accessible;
or...
include space for add on components such as a nerf dart gun, a GoPro or maybe a landing platform for a nano drone
or...
have a sleek in-line skate look that steers by changing the orientation of one (or both) of the wheels
or...
go for the Segway look and travel upright balancing on two wheels 

LOTS and LOTS of options so try not to be
