Final Design

Last Day before the compitition.



Features Of Final Design:
It has a low centre of gravity because that way it cant be tipped over easily.

It has a ramp at the front. After expirimenting with different designs I found that a ramp at the front was better than a wall because it is effective at causing the opposition to lose traction by lifting them off the ground and it is easier to make than a lift which would also be effective if you were able to get it to work properly.

The Ultrasonic senser allows it to determine the position of other robots so it can attack. It is positioned high so that it can see good and it also has some protection from being hit as opposed to being low where it is vulnerable to attack.

Motors at the back because it gives it a good drive and power as which is better because pushing from the back give room up the front.

Light sensor so it can see the edge of the ring and stop because if it leaves that ring it will lose. This is positioned up front to get instantaneous reaction and stop it leaving the ring.

Rear bumper incase of rear attack and also a defense against flipping.
